JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

A single-vehicle crash shut down Highway 54 on- and off-ramps at Missouri Boulevard for two hours early Thursday, police say.

The crash happened a little before 1:30 a.m. when a truck driven by Timothy Reiner, 36, of Tarkio, Missouri, went out of its lane on the on-ramp and crashed into a curb and street sign, the Jefferson City Police Department said in a news release. The truck drove up onto a concrete divider and began to go back onto Highway 54 before hitting the side of a concrete bridge and landing on its side, police say.

The driver was extricated and taken to University Hospital with serious injuries, police say. The crash remained under investigation Thursday.
