In a heavily-trafficked urban area like St. Louis, it is no surprise that motor vehicle accidents are common. Drivers who frequent the downtown area can stay up-to-date on the latest accidents to avoid congested roads and highways. Reading about recent traffic accidents also helps drivers avoid similar mistakes.

Due to games at the Scottrade Center and Busch Stadium, the media released a report estimating that about 66,000 people would be in the downtown St. Louis area today. The St. Louis Cardinals and Blues are both playing this evening, matches that are expected to cause major traffic jams and potentially some accidents.

Big rigs can be an intimidating part of driving on Missouri roads and highways. According to data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), about 3,000 large trucks are involved in non-fatal Missouri accidents every year while about 1,000 are involved in injury crashes.
