Snow Snarls Morning Motorists

Old man winter returned to St Joseph, just in time to complicate the Monday morning drive and cancel or delay classes in dozens of school districts.

A 24-year-old Auburn, Nebraska man suffered moderate injuries after losing control of his Chevy Suburban in the snow on US-136 east of Rock Port. The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the rollover accident happened at 3a.m. Scott Horr was taken by ambulance to Fairfax Community Hospital.

St Joseph Police responded to 14 accidents between 4 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Monday.

Police, deputies and state troopers responded to an accident at about 5:30 a.m.just outside the city limits on Missouri Route 752 just south of I-229.

A rollover accident at 4300 Maxwell at 8:40 a.m. required two ambulance responses, but none of the three children in that vehicle suffered life-threatening injuries. One, age three, was transported to Heartland and from there to Children’s Mercy Hospital.


A St Joseph Streets Department salt truck operator slid through a stop sign at Ashland and Summit Streets shortly after 8:30 a.m. The truck hit a vehicle in traffic on Ashland.

No injuries were reported but the other vehicle was removed from the scene by a tow truck.
