Travel was disrupted again by a crash in Fayette County, this time on Friday afternoon.

25-year-old John Poehlmann of Columbus, Ohio was heading east on I-70, four miles west of Vandalia when his vehicle ran off the roadway into the median. Poehlmann brought the vehicle back onto the roadway, but the unit traveled across both eastbound lanes and off into a ditch, where the vehicle struck a tree.

Poehlmann was airlifted from the scene to St. Louis University Hospital for treatment of what were termed serious injuries.

State police say they aren't certain what caused the crash, which occurred just after 4pm.
