COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A 54-year-old woman from Fulton was seriously injured Friday afternoon in a crash in the eastbound lane of Interstate 70 near the Boone-Callaway County line, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

According to the report, a 2011 Toyota 4 Runner – driven by the woman – and a 2014 Freightliner M2 – driven by a 25-year-old man from Tacoma, Washington – were heading eastbound near a construction zone when they both tried to change lanes.

The tractor-trailer rear-ended the Toyota, which ended up getting stuck between a concrete barrier and the semi, the report says.

The report says neither driver was wearing a seatbelt, but the driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured. The woman was brought to University Hospital by ambulance, the report says.

The Toyota was totaled, while the Freightliner had moderate damage, the report says.

MSHP reports do not name those involved in crashes.
