A 66-year-old woman from Eldon was seriously injured in a crash Monday afternoon on Highway 54 in Cole County at the Moreau River Bridge, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The report says the driver lost control of her 1999 Ford F-150 on the ice-covered roadway and hit the bridge. The truck was heading eastbound at the time of the crash.

Snow caused hazardous driving conditions on Monday and a slew of crashes were reported around the Mid-Missouri area.

The woman was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, the report says. She was brought to Capital Region Medical Center by ambulance.

MSHP reports do not name those involved in crashes.
