Six people were injured in four separate crashes in Jefferson City on Wednesday, police said.

Only one of them suffered serious injuries.

Three people were hurt in a crash on the Highway 54/63 southbound Missouri River bridge just before noon when a Ford Fusion changed lanes and hit a Lincoln Towncar, sending the Lincoln into the concrete wall, according to a Jefferson City Police Department news release. All three of the injured people were in the Towncar, and they were taken to a hospital with moderate injuries.

A motorcycle rider was badly hurt in a crash just before 7 a.m. at Eastland and Scenic drives, police said. Jacob Maasen, 30, of Jefferson City was on Eastland Drive when Eileen Cremer, 77, pulled into his path from Scenic Drive in an SUV, according to a release. Maasen skidded and was taken to a hospital by ambulance, police said.

A man suffered moderate injuries when he hit a parked car on his bicycle in the 500 block of East McCarty street at 9:45 a.m., and a Jefferson City woman had moderate injuries after a two-vehicle crash a little before 4 p.m. in the 2500 block of West Edgewood Drive, police said.
