To say Friday night’s commute in St. Louis was difficult would be an understatement. Parts of I-70, I-64, and I-44 were all shut down at some point. It’s not surprising considering the “Show Me” state recorded some of the heaviest snowfall totals from our country’s latest blockbuster storm. The Missouri State Highway Patrol highlighted the incredible amount of response needed to handle this event.

As of 2:00 pm this afternoon, MSHP has responded to:
• 3918 calls for service
• 1790 stranded motorists
• 878 crashes
• 57 injuries
* 4 fatalities
