The woman's vehicle was rear-ended by a driver who failed to slow for traffic ahead.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO – A 59-year-old woman from Hazelwood was injured Tuesday evening due to a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 70 near Maryland Heights, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The accident took place on the eastbound highway, past the Blanchette Memorial Bridge, at about 5:40 p.m.

Officials say that the victim was driving a 2020 Chevrolet Trax eastbound when she slowed due to congestion ahead, as did two other involved drivers: a 46-year-old Hazelwood man driving a 2024 Silverado and a 58-year-old Austin, Texas man driving a 2022 Freightliner Cascadia. A 74-year-old Maryland Heights woman was driving a 2018 Volkswagen Beetle eastbound when she failed to slow down, causing the front-end of her vehicle to hit the back of the victim’s Chevrolet Trax. The front-end of the Trax then struck the rear of the Silverado, which then hit the back of the Freightliner.

The driver of the Trax was transported to St. Joseph Hospital St. Charles for moderate injuries. Officials said both the Trax and the Volkswagen Beetle were totaled because of the wreck.

No charges or citations have been announced at this time.
