6 hospitalized after multi-vehicle collision on I-70 West 

MARYLAND HEIGHTS, MO – A 10-vehicle collision on I-70 West injured five adults and one teenager Wednesday, Missouri Highway Patrol reports.

Troopers said the events unfolded when a driver of a 2024 Toyota Rav 4 swerved to avoid hitting a 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 and a 2018 Jeep Compass, which were involved in a previous collision. Once the driver of the Toyota RAV swerved, she rear-ended a 2024 Kia Sportage.

The Kia Sportage then rotated and struck both the 2018 Jeep Compass and 2017 Dodge Ram 1500. A short time later, a 2010 Toyota Prius hit the Toyota RAV. Moments later, four vehicles —  a 2017 GMC Terrain, a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan, a 2004 Peterbilt 379, and a 2023 Dodge Horne — would go on to rear-end each other.

The driver of the Dodge Hornet, a 22-year-old woman from St. Charles, was left in serious condition. Her passenger, a 17-year-old girl, also from St. Charles, sustained minor injuries.

Four additional occupants were also left with minor injuries. They were identified as a 19-year-old woman from St. Ann, a 43-year-old woman, and a 42-year-old man–both from Wentzville–and a 44-year-old man from Old Monroe.

Five people were sent to Mercy Hospital, and one to DePaul Hospital.

Pattonville Fire and Maryland Heights fire crews also responded to the scene.

Troopers have not mentioned any citations or charges at this time.
