On December 21st, Sullivan Fire Department was dispatched to a car into the back of a tractor trailer on Eastbound I-44 at the 232 mile marker. As emergency vehicles were responding to the call, a Missouri State Trooper became involved in a second vehicle accident at the median crossover just east of the Stanton Overpass, near the 230 mile marker.
