"Road rage' blamed for rollover wreck on bridge

Cars collide; one almost rolls off

No one was hurt, but a rollover accident shut down the southbound Missouri River Bridge into Jefferson City was shut down for about an hour late Monday afternoon.

Police did not release the names of either driver, but said both were ticketed for careless and imprudent driving after their road rage caused the accident.

Police said one car cut off and hit the other car, then plowed into the guard-rail so hard it flipped on its side, then rolled over onto its top.

Witnesses said the car almost went over the guard-rail and off the bridge.

Police said the drivers of both cars got into a dispute while heading south on U.S. 63, and continued that fight onto U.S. 54/63 and the bridge.

The southbound bridge was shut down from 5 to 6 p.m., but at times police were able to open one lane to let traffic cross the bridge.
