Jefferson County, MO (September 13, 2025) – A serious two-vehicle collision occurred Friday afternoon at the intersection of Montauk Dr and US 67, resulting in significant injuries. The crash was reported at around 2:45 p.m., when emergency services rushed to the scene.
A 34-year-old female from Dexter, MO, driving a 2010 Toyota Corolla, failed to yield while attempting to turn left onto northbound US 67. As a result, she collided with a 2016 Ram 1500 driven by a 49-year-old male from Granite City, IL. The impact caused substantial damage to both vehicles, and the female driver was seriously injured, requiring airlift transport to Mercy Hospital South.
The other driver was not injured in the crash. Both vehicles were towed from the scene by Pippins Towing of Altamont. Law enforcement is investigating the cause of the collision, while Jefferson County authorities assist with traffic control and clearing the wreckage.
Our thoughts are with the injured woman, and we wish her a full recovery.
Ensuring Safe Driving at Intersections
The crash at Montauk Dr and US 67 underscores the vital importance of following traffic rules at intersections. Failing to yield, especially when turning onto a busy road, can result in devastating consequences for both drivers and passengers. Rural intersections, such as the one at Montauk Dr, often have limited visibility, making it even more crucial to proceed with caution.
Missouri State Highway Patrol continues to stress the importance of being alert at all intersections, regardless of traffic volume, to reduce the risk of accidents. Drivers are advised to slow down, use their signals, and always ensure it is safe to move before entering busy roadways.
