Emergency personnel responded about 1:20 p.m. Saturday to a multi-vehicle crash on Route 3 at Hanover Road north of Waterloo.

A 2006 Ford Windstar driven by Bruce C. Schuchardt, 69, of Waterloo, was on northbound Route 3 in the turn lane preparing to turn left onto Hanover Road. A 2012 Ford F250 driven by Joshua Whitehouse, 41, of Columbia, was traveling south on Route 3. A witness told police the van kept inching out into traffic, resulting in the truck striking the van. The truck went into the ditch off the roadway. The van spun around and struck a 2023 Harley-Davidson driven by Ronald E. Bucklew, 68, of Columbia, which was stopped at Hanover Road waiting to turn south on Route 3.

All three drivers refused medical transport from the scene, but a passenger in the van was transported to Mercy Hospital South in St. Louis County.
