Crash & Collision

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.

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.
