Fatal crash in Atchison County last weekend

The Missouri State Highway Patrol responded last weekend to a fatal crash in Atchison County, north of Rock Port. The three vehicle incident occurred on Interstate 29 when a driver entered the wrong lane and hit an oncoming vehicle. A third car entered the collision, and the three vheicles came to rest on either side of the roadway.

The driver of the car which initiated the event was declared dead at the site by the Atchison County Coroner. Another driver and two passengers were all transported to a hospital in Hamburg Iowa with serious injuries. Only one person in the crash came away unscathed.

Traffic increases are expected over the holiday weekend. Roads will be busier, and drivers may be traveling after dark. Everyone on roadways is urged to buckle up, only drive when alert -- stay sober, and stay safe.
