Distracted box truck driver causes chain-reaction crash on I-270 North 

BRIDGETON, MO – Two drivers were hospitalized following a chain-reaction collision that happened on I-270 North Tuesday afternoon.

Missouri State Highway Patrol said the crash took place after 3:45 p.m. south of I-70. Preliminary details show that a 40-year-old man, driving a 2006 Mitsubishi Box Truck, was distracted and first rear-ended a 2014 Toyota Highlander.

The Toyota Highlander was pushed forward and crashed into the back of a 2014 Chevrolet Volt. The 2014 Chevrolet Volt then rear-ended a 2020 Toyota RAV4.

A fifth driver, operating a 2020 Chrysler Pacifica, saw the chain-reaction collision ahead and did her best to avoid it by switching lanes. However, despite her best efforts, she crashed into the Chevrolet Volt.

Maryland Heights police, Bridgeton police, Medic One, and Maryland Heights Fire Protection District were also summoned to the scene. Medic One transported the Toyota driver, a 30-year-old man from O’Fallon, to SSM Health DePaul Hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

Maryland fire and EMS crews took the box truck driver, the 40-year-old man from St. Louis, to Mercy Hospital St. Louis for treatment of minor injuries.

All drivers were the sole occupants of their vehicles. The rest of the drivers were all uninjured.
