Ramp reopened after tractor-trailer crashes in Callaway County

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

An Interstate 70 on-ramp reopened at about 11 a.m. Monday after it was closed for a tractor-trailer crash.

The North Callaway Fire District posted on social media that the eastbound on-ramp at the Hatton exit at mile marker 144 was closed for a couple of hours after the crash. A photograph showed a wrecked tractor-trailer in the grassy area between the ramp and the highway.

The crash happened when the tractor-trailer hit another trailer attached to a Kenworth work truck driven by a Pilot Grove man, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report. The tractor-trailer, driven by a Columbia man, went off the road and came to rest in a ditch.

The Kenworth was driven from the scene, but the bigger truck required a tow.

The tractor-trailer driver was taken to University Hospital with minor injuries.
