(KAIR)--A Doniphan County resident, traveling in Buchanan County, Missouri Thursday, escaped injury following a three vehicle wreck that caused extensive damage to his vehicle and left one person injured.

According to a report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the wreck happened Thursday afternoon, around 4:10, in the southbound lane of I-29, inside the Saint Joseph, Missouri city limits.

The Patrol reports that a semi-truck, driven by a British Columbia resident, struck the rear fender of a conversion van with its front right fender, because the truck driver "failed to observe [that the van and an SUV in front of him were] traveling slowly due to the upcoming construction zone."

The collision came after the driver of the van attempted to avoid a wreck and traveled to the southbound shoulder.

After hitting the van, the semi came to a stop across the southbound lanes of the interstate, while the van, driven by an Omaha, Nebraska resident, was pushed forward, causing its left fender to collide with the rear, right corner of the SUV. The van ran off the west side of the interstate and overturned, landing upside down in a ditch, while the SUV, driven by 36-year-old Troy, Kansas resident Brett Clary, stopped on the southbound shoulder.

According to the Patrol, only the truck driver, identified as 46-year-old Davinder Singh, of Abbots Ford, British Columbia, was hurt, suffering what the Patrol calls "moderate injuries." He was transported by Buchanan County EMS to Mosaic Life Care, in Saint Joseph, for treatment of his injuries.

All three drivers were wearing seat belts at the time of the wreck.
