St. Louis, MO (August 26, 2026) – Two people were injured in a four-vehicle accident on eastbound I-70 east of Bermuda on Monday, August 24. The collision was reported at about 12:57 p.m. in St. Louis County.
According to the report, a Toyota Sienna made an unsafe lane change into Lane 2. The right side of the Sienna struck a GMC Sierra, sending it into Lane 3, where it hit a BMW 530i.

The BMW driver, a 24-year-old St. Louis woman, and a 25-year-old male passenger were taken to SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital with minor injuries. The investigation into the accident continues, and our thoughts are with those hurt.
What Injuries Can Result From a Multi-Vehicle Collision?
Multi-vehicle collisions can expose occupants to forces from several directions. Common injuries include bruising, cuts, broken bones, neck strain, back pain, and head trauma.
Seat belts can help keep occupants in place during sudden vehicle movement. They reduce the chance of being thrown inside the passenger compartment or ejected from a vehicle.
In a chain-reaction collision, the first contact may cause another vehicle to move into a different lane. That movement can create additional points of contact within seconds.
Vehicle damage can vary widely depending on where each vehicle is struck. Side impacts can present different risks from front or rear impacts, while multiple contacts may increase the forces experienced by occupants.
