Cass County, MO – Drivers in Belton are facing detours tonight after a three-vehicle crash shut down D Highway just south of 195th Street, according to the Cass County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies reported that a pickup truck struck both a semi-truck and another vehicle along the two-lane stretch. The pickup’s driver sustained minor injuries and was taken into custody on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Authorities confirmed that occupants of the other two vehicles were not hurt.
The crash has forced deputies to close the highway in both directions while crews work to clear the scene. A tow truck and recovery team were called in to remove the damaged vehicles, including the semi.
Officials did not provide an estimated time for the road to reopen. Motorists are being advised to avoid the area and use alternate routes until further notice.
