Kansas City, MO (September 19, 2025) – Eight young women were hospitalized on Thursday evening, September 18, after a serious crash involving a passenger van and a sedan on Interstate 35 near Eagleville in northern Missouri.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported that the crash happened around 5:30 p.m. when the driver of a 2012 Chevrolet Impala slowed in the right lane of northbound I-35 to turn into the emergency crossover in the median.
At the same time, a 2005 Ford Econoline E450 passenger van traveled north in the passing lane. The Chevrolet struck the van, forcing it off the roadway. The van then became airborne before coming to rest in the median.
Eight female passengers, ages 19 through 22, all from Oklahoma, sustained moderate injuries and were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment. Fortunately, neither the Impala driver nor the van driver was injured. The investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
We hope for a swift and full recovery for all eight injured passengers.
Passenger vans often carry multiple people, making crashes involving them especially dangerous. A single impact can leave many victims with injuries, as seen in this recent crash. In this case, eight young women now face recovery from moderate injuries that may still involve medical bills, rehabilitation, and lost time from work or school.
Passenger injuries in accidents can include:
