(KLZA)-- Two people were injured in a wreck involving five vehicles Tuesday afternoon around 4, three miles north of St. Joseph on Interstate-29.

The Missouri Highway Patrol reports 19-year-old Madalyn Kreek of Oregon, Missouri suffered moderate injuries and was transported by the Andrew County Ambulance to Mosaic Life Care Hospital in St. Joseph and later transported by private vehicle to the Fairfax Community Hospital.

64-year-old Barbara Cronk of Maryville, MO. Suffered what were described as minor injuries and was transported to the Mosaic Life Care Hospital in St. Joseph.

All five vehicles were northbound on I-29 when traffic became congested due to a traffic crash. A Chevy Blazer driven by Cronk failed to yield for stopped traffic and struck a pickup, which struck the rear of an SUV operated by Kreek, which in turn impacted the towed unit of another vehicle which was stopped and then continued into the passing lane striking another car.

In all, three vehicles were totaled and four of the five had to be towed from the scene.
