FESTUS, Mo. (Nov. 4, 2025) — A 75-year-old man from Park Hills was injured Thursday Oct. 30, 2025 in the morning in a two-vehicle crash on northbound U.S. 67, just south of Meyer Road in Festus, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The crash occurred at about 9:45 a.m. when a 2009 Ford F-150 driven by a 40-year-old man from Festus failed to slow for traffic and struck the rear of a 2020 Ford Fusion, troopers reported.

The driver of the Fusion sustained minor injuries and was transported by the Joachim-Plattin Ambulance District to Mercy Hospital Jefferson for treatment.

The F-150 sustained minor damage and was driven from the scene, while the Fusion sustained extensive damage and was towed by Buckley’s Towing. Both drivers were wearing seat belts, authorities said.
