Both the driver and the passenger were treated for moderate injuries at Boone Hospital Center and later released. Both were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the accident. The truck driver, who was also wearing his seatbelt, did not seek medical attention after the accident.

Although no driver who shares the road with tractor-trailers can guarantee his or her own safety, there are a number of steps drivers can take to reduce the risk of an accident, or to reduce the risk of severe injury if a trucking crash in St. Louis occurs. Always travel at or slightly below the speed limit, even when passing a truck, and leave plenty of room between the back of your car and the front of the truck before you change lanes. Also, simply wearing a seatbelt can help protect you from severe injury or death.
