In the early hours of Friday, a traffic accident occurred at the intersection of Highway 46 and Interstate 136 within the city limits of Ravenwood, Missouri, resulting in moderate injuries to two residents. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash involved a 2019 Dodge Challenger driven by Clayton J. Judd, 30, of Ravenwood, Missouri and a 2019 Jeep Compass operated by Samantha M.
