Five people were transported to the hospital after a three-vehicle accident in Livingston County shortly after 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a 51-year-old Chillicothe lady was driving a Dodge Grand Caravan southbound on US 65, three miles south of Chillicothe, in a construction zone.
The Dodge rear-ended a Toyota Sienna driven by a 38-year-old lady from Danville, Kentucky. The Toyota spun anticlockwise, collided with the driver’s side of a Ford Edge driven by a 41-year-old lady from Albany, Missouri, and then veered off the east side of the road.
A 26-year-old Chillicothe woman was rushed to Hedrick Medical Centre with critical injuries after riding in the Dodge. She was later taken to St. Luke’s Hospital on the Plaza.
Two adult occupants of the Toyota, a 30-year-old male and an unknown age female from Stanford, Ky., were transported to Hedrick Medical Centre with moderate to critical injuries. The female was then airlifted to Truman Medical Centre in Kansas City.
An infant and a one-year-old in the Toyota were sent to Hedrick Medical Centre with critical injuries. MU Health Care then flew the infant to Children’s Mercy. The one-year-old was airlifted to Children’s Mercy Hospital.
The crash left none of the drivers wounded.
