A two-vehicle accident occurred on September 10, 2024, at approximately 11:58 p.m. on Interstate 70 westbound, just east of Highway 79 in St. Charles, Missouri.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan, driven by 26-year-old Kayla A. Owens of St. Louis, Missouri, was traveling westbound in lane four when the vehicle collided with a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado driven by 46-year-old Bodie L. Miller of Bethany, Missouri. Miller had slowed down due to traffic congestion ahead. Owens applied her brakes but was unable to stop in time, resulting in the front of the Volkswagen striking the rear of the Chevrolet.
Owens sustained minor injuries and was transported by the St. Charles County Ambulance District to SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital in Lake St. Louis. She was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. The Volkswagen Tiguan suffered extensive damage and was towed from the scene by Superior Towing.
Miller, who was also wearing a seat belt, was uninjured and drove the Chevrolet from the scene. The Silverado sustained moderate damage.
