HIGH RIDGE, MO (JEFFERSON COUNTY) – A man was seriously injured after he drove his vehicle into that of an 82-year-old woman in what Missouri State Highway Patrol described as a “careless and reckless manner.”
The accident happened yesterday just after 4 p.m. near the intersection of Highway 30 and High Ridge Boulevard when High Ridge man Alexander M. Johnson, 22, was allegedly driving recklessly.
Johnson drove a 2006 Honda CBR 600 into the rear end of a 2011 Cadillac SXR driven by Irene E. Werntz, 82, also of High Ridge. Both drivers were wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident.
Johnson was seriously injured in the accident and taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries.
Werntz is not reported as injured.
The Honda was totaled in the crash, and while the Cadillac received moderate damage, it was able to be driven from the scene of the accident.
