At mile marker 170.2 on I-70 Highway was the scene of an accident in 2012 when Kelli Smith was going westbound in the eastbound lane at 3:32am. Smith slammed into an eastbound car, killing Thomas D. Sullivan. She was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in December 2014. A Missouri Court of Appeals threw out the conviction and the case is back in the Montgomery County courts. Smith's attorney Jennifer Bukowsky believes Smith who was naked from the waist down was also given a drug and was sexually assaulted before she ended up disoriented on the highway and the crash occurred.
