Liberty Township, MO (May 21, 2023) – A man and a young child were both left injured following a car crash that took place on Saturday morning in Clay County.
At around 11:15 a.m. on May 20, the Missouri State Highway Patrol was called to the scene of a collision that occurred on Interstate 35.
Reports from authorities show that a 2012 Ford F150 crashed into the rear of a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe while traveling on the southbound side of Interstate 35 near mile marker 21.2. The impact of the accident caused the Chevrolet to strike the rear of the 2019 Lexus RX350. The Lexus then collided with the side of a 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck.
All four vehicles were severely damaged in the accident and had to be towed from the scene. Three area towing companies responded to provide assistance.
A 32-year-old man, identified as Aaron Shoop, and a 1-year-old boy were both injured in the crash. The young child was transported to Children’s Mercy Hospital for emergency care. Shoop was transported by ambulance to Truman Hospital for further treatment.
At this time, the incident is being investigated.
We hope Aaron Shoop and the young child recover quickly following this accident.
