COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Columbia man was charged with seven counts of driving while intoxicated in an April 3 crash on Interstate 70 that caused serious injuries.

Samuel Jacob Creasy was charged on Friday. He was arrested in April and posted a $1,500 bond. An initial court appearance is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The probable cause statement says vehicles were crashed near the 122.8-mile marker and that Creasy admitted to troopers that he caused the crash and that it was his fault. A breath test was conducted at the scene and his blood alcohol content was .122, the statement says.

Another test was conducted about an hour later and his BAC was then .11, the statement says. The legal limit to drive is .08.

Previous reporting indicates that Creasy drove a 2021 Ram 3500 on the Interstate 70 when he tried passing two vehicles and ended up hitting both.

A Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report shows three people in the crash were seriously injured and four had minor injuries. All seven were brought to University Hospital by ambulance. Three minors were injured – one seriously – in the crash, the report shows.

Creasy refused treatment at the scene and had no reported injuries, according to the statement and crash report.
