PARIS, MO – A seven-vehicle crash on US 24 Tuesday morning hospitalized two people, the Herald-Whig reports.

A tractor-trailer failed to stop in time at a construction stop zone and collided with a Ford crossover vehicle, said Missouri Highway Patrol Sgt. Eric Brown. The impact caused the tractor to drive into a ditch and caused a chain-reaction crash.
