Troopers are investigating a one vehicle rollover crash with injuries on westbound I-70

KINGDOM CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

A car overturned on Interstate 70, causing part of the highway to be shut down in Callaway County.

The crash occurred just before 2:30 p.m. at mile marker 140 west of Kingdom City, and backed up traffic to mile-marker 141 on westbound I-70. Troopers reported injuries in the single-car crash, but were able to clear the crash within an hour.

However, officials were forced to shut down part of I-70 when a wide load that avoided warning signs in the construction zone near the crash got stuck.

According to Matt Walton of the Callaway County Fire Protection District, traffic has been diverted to the Hatton exit at mile marker 144 to North Outer Road.

The Missouri Department of Transportation's Gateway Guide shows the area was still closed just before 4 p.m. because of the crash.
