Jefferson Co, MO (January 23, 2026) – A three-vehicle accident early on Thursday morning on eastbound Missouri 30 left one driver with injuries west of Little Brennan Rd, according to Troop C of the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred at approximately 6:50 a.m. as all involved vehicles were traveling east. Reports state that the driver of a 2019 Chevrolet Cruze, a 31-year-old woman from Cedar Hill, struck the rear of a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado. The impact caused the Silverado to collide with the back of a 2025 Toyota Tacoma, also heading in the same direction.
The woman driving the Cruze sustained injuries and was transported via private vehicle to Mercy Hospital St. Louis. The other drivers, a 45-year-old man and a 47-year-old man, both from the Jefferson County area, were not reported injured. Both the Cruze and the Silverado had to be towed from the scene due to significant damage, while the Tacoma was able to be driven away.
Emergency crews worked quickly to clear the roadway during the early morning commute. Authorities are continuing to investigate the sequence of events leading up to the crash.
Our thoughts are with the injured woman as she recovers.
