Collision occurred on North Interstate 270 south of I-64

ST. LOUIS, MO – A 2004 Jeep Cherokee experienced a mechanical malfunction, which resulted in an 8-vehicle wreck that injured three people on Friday.

Missouri State Highway Patrol said the multi-vehicle collision happened after 5:45 a.m. on northbound I–270. MSHP said that the Jeep swerved across several lanes before being struck by seven other vehicles.

The seven other vehicles was a 2015 Chrysler 200, a Hyundai Elantra, a 2012 Ford F150, a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer, a 2022 Honda Civic, a 2016 Hyundai Sonata, and a 2007 Ford F150.

MSHP said the driver of the 2016 Hyundai Sonata was a 37-year-old woman, and the Chrysler driver was a 25-year-old man, both of whom are from Arnold.

The Jeep driver, a 19-year-old man from Herculaneum, and the Arnold locals all sustained minor injuries. Des Peres Ambulance District transported the three to Mercy Hospital St. Louis.

The five other drivers were uninjured.

All drivers wore seat belts and were the sole occupants of their vehicles.

MSHP said drivers gave conflicting statements about how the crash unfolded. At this time, troopers are continuing to determine the exact sequence of events.
