The Missouri State Highway Patrol said the accident happened at 12:24 pm Friday on southbound I-29 at Missouri Route 92. A crash report says two vehicles were stopped in the right lane of the interstate because of congestion from construction.

A pickup truck rammed into the rear of the stopped SUV, pushing it into the stopped semi, which then hit the fourth vehicle.

Three occupants of the SUV were killed. The patrol’s crash report identifies them as Carhole Wehking, 75 of Lancaster, Kan.; James Wilson, 54, of Effinham, Kan.; and Lisa Wilson, 44, also of Effingham.

The driver of the pickup, identified as John Klapp, 71, of Correctionville, Iowa, suffered what the crash report described as serious injuries. He and a passenger in his vehicle were taken by ambulance to North Kansas City Hospital. The passenger suffered minor injuries, according to the crash report, which identified his as Christpher Klapp, 40, of Correctionville, Iowa.
