Emergency personnel responded about 5:35 p.m. Friday to a two-vehicle crash with a minor injury in foggy conditions on Route 3 southbound near the YMCA south of Columbia.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Department said a 2018 Chevy Traverse driven by Deanna L. Hardgrave, 64, of Columbia, was traveling south on Route 3 without its headlights on when it struck the rear of a Schwan’s truck driven by Luke A. Driscoll, 40, of St. Louis, which had turned onto southbound Route 3 from a side road. Hardgrave told the Republic-Times her vehicle did have its headlights on.

Hardgrave was transported to Mercy South by Columbia EMS for treatment of minor injuries sustained in the crash.
