Illinois State Police

Nov. 11

Emergency personnel responded shortly after 5 p.m. to two separate vehicle crashes on I-255 at the Jefferson Barracks Bridge. One of the crashes was on I-255 westbound on the Illinois side of the bridge and was a rollover with entrapment. The other crash was on I-255 eastbound in Missouri. The entire JB Bridge was shut down temporarily as emergency personnel tended to both crashes before reopening both directions of I-255 shortly after 6:30 p.m. The bridge currently carries both directions of travel on the eastbound span due to construction on the westbound span. ISP said the westbound crash involved four vehicles. A 2012 Ford Focus driven by Conrad J. McDaniel, 35, of St. Louis, was unable to stop in time for slowed traffic in the right lane, rear-ending a 2021 Hyundai Palisade driven by Megan B. Zedak, 37, of O’Fallon. The Hyundai in turn rear-ended a 2024 GMC Terrain driven by Mary J. Wojcik, 59, of Millstadt, which in turn rear-ended a 2013 Chrysler Town & Country driven by Adam P. Deffenbaugh, 40, of Columbia. The Hyundai overturned following the initial collision. Zedak and three passengers in her vehicle – two of them juveniles – were transported by ambulance to an area hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries.  I-255 westbound traffic was also backed up earlier in the afternoon due to a stalled vehicle near the bridge.
