PLATTE COUNTY, Mo. (KQTV) -- A 28-year-old woman suffered serious injuries in a Platte County crash Tuesday morning.

The crash occurred just after 1 a.m. on Northbound Interstate 29 at the 11.8 mile marker.

The 53-year-old male driver of a 2016 Chevrolet Sonic, with the 28-year-old female passenger, began skidding and traveled off the right side of the roadway and struck a concrete barrier.

After hitting the barrier, the 29-year-old driver of a 2012 Jeep Liberty struck the driver's side of the Chevrolet.

The Jeep came to rest approximately 258 feet after the point of impact, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report.

The woman, who was not wearing a seat belt, was transported by the Kansas City Fire Department to North Kansas City Hospital.

Both drivers of the Jeep and Chevrolet were wearing seatbelts.
