Distracted driver to blame for multi-vehicle crash on MO 79, MSHP says 

O’FALLON, MO – Two people were sent to the hospital following a head-on collision caused by a distracted driver on MO 79 in O’Fallon on Thursday.

Missouri State Highway Patrol said the incident unfolded when a 47-year-old man, driving a 2023 Acura MDX, was distracted by his phone while traveling on northbound MO-79. He veered into the southbound lane and crashed head-on into a 2005 Honda Civic.

The force of the collision caused the Acura and the Honda to spin out of control and the Honda to crash head-on into a 2019 Chevrolet Spark.

The Chevrolet driver, a 59-year-old man from Old Monroe, sustained moderate injuries, and the Honda driver, a 66-year-old woman from St. Louis, suffered serious injuries.

MSHP and St. Charles County EMS crews responded to the scene before 5:45 p.m. Upon arrival, ambulance personnel transported the 59-year-old man to SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital – Lake St. Louis and the 66-year-old woman to Mercy Hospital St. Louis.

The 47-year-old man was uninjured. MSHP did not say if they cited him for distracted driving.
