Emergency personnel responded shortly before 7:15 p.m. Wednesday to a two-vehicle crash with injuries and road blockage on Route 3 at Old State Route 3 near the Sydenstricker-Nobbe Partners dealership south of Waterloo.

Responding agencies included the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department, Monroe County EMS and Waterloo Fire Department.

Police said a 2000 Toyota Tacoma driven by Sawndra E. McBride, 53, of Red Bud, was traveling south on Route 3 when a deer ran in front of her and pressed her brakes. Trailing behind was a 2007 Chrysler 300 driven by a 16-year-old female, which was unable to stop in time from rear-ending the truck.

Both were transported to Mercy Hospital South in St. Louis County with non-life-threatening injuries.
