St. Louis County, MO (September 7, 2025) – A two-vehicle crash occurred on Friday afternoon on eastbound I-270 just west of Hwy 367, resulting in one driver being transported to the hospital. The collision was investigated by Troop C of the Missouri State Highway Patrol and was reported around 1:50 p.m.
According to the official crash report, both vehicles were traveling eastbound on I-270 when a 2004 Honda Odyssey in the far-left lane (lane 1) crossed through lane 2 and entered lane 3. The Honda’s front right struck the front left of a 2016 Jeep Renegade, driven by a 30-year-old woman from Collinsville, Illinois. The Odyssey’s driver then lost control, veered off the right side of the roadway, and hit a guardrail before striking the Jeep again.
The 39-year-old female driver of the Honda Odyssey, from St. Louis, sustained minor injuries and was transported by Christian EMS to Barnes-Jewish Hospital. The driver of the Jeep Renegade was not reported injured. Both vehicles sustained significant damage and were towed from the scene by Bolin’s.

Lane-Change Collision Risks in St. Louis County
High-speed interstates like I-270 are common locations for lane-change crashes. Crossing multiple lanes of traffic in congested conditions can quickly lead to collisions, often with severe outcomes due to the speed and volume of vehicles involved.
The Missouri Department of Transportation notes that improper lane changes are a leading cause of interstate crashes in the St. Louis region. Many of these incidents result in property damage and injuries requiring emergency care.
For those involved in such accidents, recovery can mean medical treatment, insurance negotiations, and significant financial strain. Proper documentation and timely medical evaluation are key steps for victims navigating the aftermath.
Drivers are urged to avoid abrupt lane changes, signal intentions early, and check blind spots carefully when traveling on busy interstates like I-270.
