A St. Louis man was injured in a two-vehicle accident at 7:04 a.m. Tuesday on Interstate 44 at the 140 mile marker.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the 35-year-old male driver of a westbound 2015 Ford Mustang from St. Louis traveled into the lane of a westbound 2025 Volvo Tuck VNL driven by a 53-year-old male from Stoneville, S.C., causing the truck to travel off the left side of the roadway into the median where he struck the center cable barrier. The Ford Mustang then traveled off the right side of the roadway.
The St. Louis man was transported by ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Springfield, with what the Highway Patrol described as minor injuries.
Both were reportedly wearing seat belts.
