The accident was reported at approximately 2:41 p.m. in the northbound I-55 exit lane leading to Lindbergh Blvd, just south of the intersection.
According to reports from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash involved a 2020 Chrysler Pacifica, a 2023 Nissan Rogue, and a 2016 Honda HR-V, all traveling northbound. The Nissan and Honda had come to a stop due to traffic ahead when the Chrysler, driven by a 31-year-old woman from St. Louis, failed to stop in time and struck the rear of the Nissan. The impact caused a chain reaction, with the Nissan then hitting the rear of the Honda.
The Chrysler sustained minor damage and was towed from the scene by Miner’s Towing. The Nissan and Honda also sustained minor damage but were driven from the scene. The driver of the Chrysler was transported by Mehlville Fire Protection District to Mercy Hospital South with injuries. All drivers were reportedly wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
The incident remains under investigation by state authorities.
Our thoughts are with the injured driver, and we wish her a speedy recovery.
Highway Exit Lane Collisions in Missouri
Collisions in highway exit lanes, such as the one at I-55 and Lindbergh Blvd, often occur during periods of congested traffic or sudden stops. These lanes are transitional zones where high-speed travel quickly shifts to slowed or stopped traffic, making rear-end collisions a common outcome when drivers are distracted or misjudge braking distances.
In Missouri, such accidents frequently happen in metropolitan areas like St. Louis, where daily traffic volume creates abrupt stop-and-go conditions. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) urges drivers to remain attentive and maintain ample spacing, particularly when approaching exits, construction areas, or merge points.
Even low-speed crashes in exit lanes can lead to injuries and vehicle damage. Injured individuals should prioritize medical evaluation and consider consulting with professionals regarding their recovery and legal rights, especially in cases involving driver negligence.
