(KLZA)-- A Saturday afternoon wreck in the southbound lane of Interstate 29 in Buchanan County, Missouri sent three people to the hospital with various degrees of injuries.

The Missouri Highway Patrol reports the wreck occurred about 12:15 when three vehicles were stopped on southbound I-29 due to slowed traffic in a work zone to their south.

A pickup driven by 47-year-old Roy Allison Jr. of Beatrice, Nebraska failed to stop for the congested traffic and struck the rear of a Ford Focus operated by 20-year-old Blake Ommen from Parkville, Missouri, causing the car to hit the rear of a Toyota Corola operated by 41-year-old Neil Baker of Omaha, which in turn struck the rear of an Acura RDX operated by 65-year-old Deborah Smith of Country Club, Village, Missouri.

The Buchanan County EMS transferred Roy Allison Jr. of Beatrice, the driver of the pickup, who suffered serious injuries, a passenger in the pickup, 22-year-old Austin Beck who suffered moderate injuries and 20-year-old Blake Ommen who suffered serious injuries to the Mosaic Life Care Center in St. Joseph.

All four of the vehicles involved in the wreck were totaled.
