Flurry of snow and traffic accidents this afternoon
January 31, 2008
St. Charles County
Accidents have kept emergency crews quite busy this afternoon. The snow shouldn’t have caught many off guard since the forecast was widely announced; but it seems the slick roadways were a surprise.
One accident in St. Charles County involved a school bus carrying special needs children. Also this afternoon, eastbound and westbound lanes of Highway 40 near Highways K and 94 were closed due to a couple of accidents involving as many as eight vehicles. Slight injuries were reported.
An accident in Wentzville, on the ramp from Highway A to 70 westbound, involved two vehicles. There was also an accident near the intersection of Highways N and Z; a slide off on Highway 40 near Callahan Road. Another car was reported off the roadway of the overpass onto Wentzville Parkway.
There was a three-car accident on Old Highway 94 South. Other accidents occurred in Cottleville near the college; on Lake Saint Louis Boulevard near Highway 70; and under the Zumbehl overpass in St. Charles.
