Elleigh Wood and Leslie Turek Hurt in Multi-Vehicle Crash on Highway 63 [Jefferson City, MO]

Jefferson City, MO (September 21, 2024) On Wednesday morning, 55-year-old Leslie Turek from Columbia, and 19-year-old Elleigh Wood of Hallsville were seriously hurt after a multi-vehicle crash on Highway 63.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP), the four-car collision occurred at 7:51 a.m. on Highway 63, just south of Renz Farm Road.

Reports say that the incident began when traffic slowed, causing a 2014 Honda Civic, a 2020 Honda HRV, and a 2012 Toyota Camry to come to a stop. A 2016 Freightliner Cascadia, unable to brake in time, crashed into the back of the Honda Civic. The impact sent the truck into the rear and left side of the Honda HRV, which then spun and hit the Toyota Camry.

Officials say that 19-year-old Juan M. Beltran-Briceno of Columbia, suffered minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Meanwhile, the driver of the Honda Civic, identified as Wood, and the driver of the Honda HRV, identified as Turek, both sustained serious injuries and were transported to local hospitals by EMS.

The MSHP confirmed that all involved in the crash were wearing seatbelts.

Always maintain a safe following distance, especially in congested traffic, to reduce the risk of serious collisions.
