The Missouri State Highway Patrol responded to two crashes in a 15 hour period in the Interstate 35 construction zone near Eagleville.
Thursday (October 8) just before 5 a.m. a southbound car driven by a 43 year old woman from Texas crossed the median and both northbound lanes before striking a tree. The driver was taken to the hospital in Bethany with moderate injuries.
Wednesday (October 7) at 2 p.m. a northbound semi that was stopped in the construction zone was rear ended by a second semi. The driver of the second semi, a 34 year old man from Kansas City, was taken to the hospital in Leon Iowa with minor injuries.
No names were released from either crash.
The Missouri Department of Transportation says the resurfacing project that has been taking place on Interstate 35 is supposed to be finished this month.
