Six people were injured in a four vehicle crash Wednesday in Buchanan County. 

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, shortly before noon, 32-year-old Andrea R. Popejoy of Falls City, Nebraska, was driving a Chevy Impala south on I-29 and took the south exit to US 169. Popejoy’s vehicle swerved to avoid a Buick Lacrosse stopped at the light. The Impala went off the road then back onto the road, hitting the Lacrosse. The impact caused the Lacrosse to hit a third vehicle in front of it which then pushed the third vehicle into the back of a fourth vehicle.

Popejoy was transported to Mosaic Life Care for treatment of serious injuries. A five-year-old passenger in the Impala was seriously injured and a one-year-old passenger had minor injuries. Both were transported to Mosaic for treatment. According to the crash report, no one in the Impala was wearing a safety device. 

The drivers and passengers in the second and third vehicles involved in the crash were transported to Mosaic Life Care for treatment of minor injuries. All were wearing seat belts.
