Kirkwood Driver Injured in 3-Car Collision

A rear-end vehicular impact on Thursday resulted in a three-auto accident that sent a driver from Kirkwood to a local hospital.

Christopher Niehoff, a 31-year-old motorist from Eureka, was driving a 2005 Dodge Ram on Thursday afternoon, and ran into the back of the 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe being driven by Marggie Bonner, 30, of Kirkwood, according to Missouri State Highway Patrol records.

Bonner and another driver, Joseph Kemper, had been stopped for traffic. The rear-end jolt from Niehoff's pickup caused Bonner's vehicle to hit Kemper's 1999 Chevrolet S10.
