Semi Loses Control on 71 Highway, Three Injured

71 Highway near Belton, Missouri was the scene of an accident involving a semi truck and several cars on Tuesday afternoon. The truck driver, traveling southbound on 71 Highway, lost control of his tractor-trailer crossing over to the northbound lanes and hitting several vehicles. One car was pinned beneath the trailer and was pushed across the median.

Rescue crews were called to the scene to help extricate people from their vehicles.  Both northbound and southbound lanes of 71 Highway near Highway 58 were closed while crews removed debris from the area.  A life flight helicopter was also called to the scene.  Three people were taken to area hospitals, one with moderate to serious injuries and two with minor to moderate injuries.

There has been no determination as to why the truck driver lost control of his vehicle.
