Boone County collision on I-70 injures multiple people

BOONE, MO – (April 3, 2026) Seven people were injured, several seriously, Friday in a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 70 in Boone County.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a 2021 Ram 3500 pickup traveling eastbound attempted to pass near mile marker 122.8 around 5:45 p.m. The pickup collided with a 2024 Volkswagen Jetta and a 2017 GMC Acadia. The impact caused the GMC to overturn, while the Ram ran off the road and struck a rock embankment.

A 15-year-old passenger in the GMC sustained serious injuries, and the driver along with two other passengers suffered minor injuries.

An 80-year-old woman in the Volkswagen was hospitalized with severe injuries, while the 55-year-old driver of the vehicle sustained minor injuries. A 26-year-old passenger in the Ram was also transported to a local hospital with serious injuries.

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Approximately 2.2 million people were injured in motor vehicle crashes across the United States in 2023, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

NHTSA reports that speeding is the leading cause of crashes, followed by impairment, failure to stay in the proper lane, failure to yield, and distracted driving.

“It is important to determine the exact cause of these types of accidents. Attorneys have the resources to review insurance policies, hire expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and locate witnesses,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

She emphasized that independent investigations should be conducted promptly to preserve evidence.

“In addition to reviewing police findings, attorneys can examine contributing factors, work with experts, and guide victims through complex legal processes,” Bond added.


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the results of the investigation, victims may have the right to pursue personal injury claims.

Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the aftermath of a serious injury can disrupt all aspects of life, including finances, work, and family responsibilities.

“It is important for victims to retain legal counsel when filing a claim, allowing proper negotiation with insurance companies,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies often overlook the true cost of injuries. An attorney can help ensure victims receive the compensation they deserve,” he added.
