Oak Grove, MO (May 3, 2024) – One person was transported to an area hospital with injuries following a multi-vehicle accident report in Jackson County on Tuesday morning, April 30. Emergency officials were notified of the accident just before 11:40 a.m.
Official reports indicate that a 2009 Lincoln and a 2023 Kenworth semi-truck collided on the eastbound side of Interstate 70 near mile marker 28. The impact of the crash caused the Lincoln to go off the roadway and collide with a guard rail. The vehicle then reentered the roadway and collided with a 2016 Kenworth tractor-trailer. The Lincoln was totaled as a result of the accident. One person involved in the collision was injured. Emergency medical services responded to the scene to care for 25-year-old Gage Lawler. Lawler was subsequently transported to Lee’s Summit Medical Center for treatment. At this time, the incident is under investigation.
We hope Gage Lawler recovers quickly following this accident.
