St. Louis, MO (February 14, 2025) – A two-vehicle collision on southbound Interstate 270 north of St. Charles Rock Road resulted in injuries Thursday evening.
Emergency responders were quick to the scene, providing care to the injured victim. The crash occurred at approximately 6:35 p.m. when a 2024 Chrysler Pacifica traveling in lane three attempted to change lanes. Officials report that the driver made the maneuver when it was unsafe, striking the left side of a 2011 Honda Pilot traveling in lane four. The impact caused the Honda Pilot to veer off the right side of the roadway, where it overturned.
Medics and fire crews worked to assist those suffering from injuries after the crash. The 34-year-old female driver of the Honda Pilot sustained injuries and was transported by Robertson Fire Protection EMS to Mercy Hospital St. Louis for treatment. The driver of the Chrysler Pacifica, a 27-year-old male from Bridgeton, was not reported injured and was able to drive away from the scene.
The Honda Pilot sustained total damage and was towed from the scene by Bolin Services, while the Chrysler Pacifica had minor damage. Authorities are continuing to investigate the accident to determine any further contributing factors.
Our thoughts are with the injured driver, and we wish her a full recovery.
Rollover Accidents in Missouri
Rollover crashes are among the most dangerous types of vehicle accidents, often resulting in serious injuries due to the violent motion of the vehicle. Many of these incidents occur due to sudden lane changes, loss of control, or impact with other vehicles.
According to the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), improper lane changes and driver inattention are leading causes of highway accidents. When drivers fail to check blind spots or make unsafe maneuvers, they risk striking other vehicles and causing secondary crashes, such as rollovers.
For those involved in rollovers or serious accidents, seeking medical attention is essential, even if injuries seem minor at first. Additionally, understanding insurance claims and legal rights can help individuals recover compensation for medical expenses and vehicle damage.
