St. Louis, MO (August 4, 2025) – Two 17-year-old females were injured on Saturday night in a three-vehicle collision on eastbound Interstate 70 near Jennings Station Road, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The crash occurred around 10:00 p.m. and involved a chain of events that began with a disabled vehicle in the roadway.
Investigators report that a 2024 Chevrolet Trax, driven by a 17-year-old girl from St. Louis, became disabled in Lane 1 of I-70 East. As a 2020 Acura RDX approached, its 54-year-old driver successfully steered to the right to avoid the disabled vehicle. However, a 2003 Toyota Sienna, driven by a 71-year-old man from St. Louis, was unable to stop in time and struck the rear of the Trax. The impact pushed the Trax into Lane 2, where its front right side collided with the left side of the Acura.
The Chevrolet Trax and Toyota Sienna both sustained total damage and were towed by Terry’s Towing. The Acura RDX sustained moderate damage but was driven from the scene.
The driver of the Trax and a juvenile passenger were both wearing seatbelts and sustained minor injuries. They were transported by the Northeast Fire Protection District, one to St. Louis Children’s Hospital, the other to Barnes-Jewish Hospital. No other injuries were reported.
Trooper J.M. Doyle continues to investigate the crash.
We extend our wishes for a swift and full recovery to the injured teens.
