2 lanes of EB I-44 closed after crash involving tractor-trailer

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - Two lanes of I-44 Eastbound closed at Lewis Road after a semi-truck went through the median early Wednesday.

Preliminary investigations show that the semi-truck was traveling Westbound on I-44 when it went through the concrete median into the Eastbound lane.

Rockwood School District sent parents a memo about transportation in the area of the crash.

Because of the collision on Hwy 44 earlier today and the highway being shut down, we will be unable to provide transportation to any students living off the Lewis Road exit of Highway 44. Thank you for your patience.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
