Blue Springs, MO (February 23, 2026) – A two-vehicle crash in a construction zone slowed traffic on Monday, February 23, on westbound Interstate 70 near Adams Dairy Parkway.
The accident occurred around 10:15 a.m., along the highway past Adams Dairy Parkway. Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers responded to reports of a crash involving two vehicles in the active work zone.
Officials said the collision likely resulted in minor injuries, but they have not confirmed the exact extent of those injuries. Emergency crews assessed the people involved at the scene.
Authorities did not release additional details about how the crash happened or how many individuals required medical attention.
The crash led officials to close westbound lanes for about an hour while crews worked at the scene. Investigators continue to review the circumstances surrounding the accident.
We hope those injured recover quickly and fully.
After a car accident in Missouri, some injury symptoms can appear hours or even days later. Even if a crash seems minor at first, pain and stiffness may increase over time. Medical professionals often advise follow-up care to identify hidden injuries early.
Whiplash ranks among the most common delayed injuries after a collision. People may first notice mild neck discomfort, only to experience a strong pain the next day.
Headaches, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating can signal a concussion. Back pain may point to soft tissue damage or disc injuries. In some cases, internal injuries show subtle signs such as abdominal pain or unusual fatigue.
Construction zone crashes can increase the force of impact due to sudden stops and lane changes. Drivers and passengers may brace for impact, which can strain muscles and ligaments.
Because adrenaline rises immediately after a crash, some people do not feel pain until later. A medical evaluation creates documentation that links symptoms to the accident and supports future treatment.
Keep all medical records to protect your health and any potential insurance claim. Save discharge papers, imaging results, prescriptions, and follow-up instructions. Track missed workdays and out-of-pocket expenses related to the collision. Clear documentation helps explain how the crash affected your daily life.
A car accident attorney can review medical records and explain how Missouri injury laws may apply. Legal guidance can help clarify what types of compensation may be available for medical costs, lost wages, and other accident-related expenses. Each case depends on specific facts, available evidence, and insurance coverage.
