On Friday 07-24-262, at 7:54 PM, The Pike County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a two vehicle, head-on collision on US 54 on Atlas Hill, approximately 1 mile east of Atlas. The report indicated vehicles involved were a passenger vehicle vs a Semi Tractor and Trailer.

The initial investigation indicates the driver of the passenger vehicle crossed the center yellow line, striking the semi tactor on the front driver’s side corner.

The driver (Jaimie L. Rhode of Griggsville) and two passengers of the passenger vehicle were transported to Illini Community Hospital where they were later transferred to other hospitals via ambulance. Due to the pending weather conditions, Medical Helicopters were unable to fly. The driver of the semi tractor trailer (Michael R. Richardson of Robstown Texas) was transported to Illini Community Hospital by law enforcement.

The crash is still under investigation.

Assisting at the scene was Pike County EMS, Pleasant Hill and Spring Creek Fire Departments, Pittsfield Fire Department, Illinois State Police, Illinois Department of Transportation, Pittsfield Police Department, Pike County Missouri Sheriff’s Office and Pike County Emergency Management Agency.
