St Louis, MO (November 12, 2022) – A multi-vehicle accident occurred in the St Louis area that ended in injuries, according to local law enforcement. At around 8:45 a.m., on November 10, emergency crews were notified that their help was needed at a crash on Interstate 270.
According to reports, a 2008 BMW 650I was traveling on the westbound side of Interstate 270. The driver of the vehicle failed to maintain a single lane while traveling. As a result, the vehicle collided with the rear of a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The BMW then struck a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. The front left side of the Chevrolet then struck a 2015 Freightliner Cascadia and the median concrete wall.
The three passenger vehicles had to be towed from the scene as a result of the damages.
The driver of the Chevrolet, 23-year-old Jakira Guilbeaux, and a passenger in the Nissan, 23-year-old Kashyarra Stanley, sustained injuries in the crash. Both victims were transported by Christian Hospital EMS to SSM Health Depaul Hospital, where they were treated for injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.
We hope Jakira Guilbeaux and Kashyarra Stanley recover quickly following this accident.
Car Accidents in Missouri
Rear-end crashes often result in significant injuries for those involved. Given the location of impact, victims who are involved in rear-end collisions often suffer from back injuries, head and neck injuries, and other traumatic injuries that require medical care. The unfortunate truth is that most rear-end collisions are entirely preventable. Many of them are a result of negligence.
There are several causes to rear-end crashes here in the state of Missouri. Some of the leading factors include:
- Distracted driving: If a driver is not paying attention to the road, they may crash into another vehicle sharing the road.
- Fatigue: Drivers who are tired can fall asleep at the wheel or have impaired reflexes, both of which can cause them to crash into the rear end of other vehicles.
- Alcohol or drugs: Both alcohol and drugs can impair a driver’s ability to maintain control over their vehicle.
- Weather conditions: Poor visibility or slick roads can make it difficult for drivers to stop in time to avoid collisions with vehicles ahead.
- Mechanical issues: If a car experiences brake failure or a tire blowout, it may crash into another vehicle sharing the road.
