MSHP badge goldOne rear-end collision on I-29 leads to another, as well as the arrest of one of the drivers.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says a 22-year-old man from Platte City drove his Chevy Cruze into the rear of a semi on I-29 at the 52.8 mile marker at about 10:35am.   He suffered minor injuries in the crash. The patrol arrested the driver but released him for hospital treatment.

An online arrest report lists possible charges of 2nd-Degree Assault with a DWI and Careless & Imprudent Driving involving an accident.  No formal charges have been filed against the driver, identified in an online arrest report as Dakota Hipps.

About 15 minutes later, an SUV plowed into a Buick that had stopped for the previous accident. Officials say 77-year-old Carolyn Scott of Louisiana, Missouri was transported to Mosaic Life Care with minor injuries.

According to the crash reports, the other two drivers were no injured.
