Lincoln Co, MO (February 3, 2026) – An evening accident on Monday resulted in injuries to multiple occupants along a stretch of northbound US-61 in Lincoln County. The incident took place around 6:20 p.m. just south of Creech Ln, drawing a response from emergency medical services in the area.
Information released indicates that two vehicles were traveling northbound at the time of the accident, including a 2026 Kia Sportage and a 2004 International 9900ix.

Medical personnel evaluated those involved and assisted several individuals who suffered a variety of injuries. The driver of the Kia, a 33-year-old male, along with a 32-year-old female passenger and a 7-year-old boy, were transported by Lincoln County Ambulance District to SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital in Lake St. Louis for further treatment.
