Kansas Woman Seriously Injured in I-29 Crash Monday in Buchanan County

Two people suffered injuries in a Monday morning accident in Buchanan County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports the accident occurred around 10:53 Monday morning on southbound I-29, two miles north of Dearborn, as a dump truck driven by 33-year-old St. Joseph resident Daniel E. Roe sat stationary in the passing lane due to mowers up ahead.

Authorities say a second southbound vehicle driven by 77-year-old Overland Park, Kansas resident Lauren A. Welch struck Roe’s towed unit, and both vehicles came to a rest.

Roe suffered minor injuries and sought treatment at Concentra Urgent Care in St. Joseph.

Welch suffered serious injuries and sought treatment at Mosaic in St. Joseph.

Troopers say both wore seat belts at the time of the accident.
