At approximately 6 pm on Saturday, June 2, Sarah, Noah, Maggie, and Eli Steelman became involved in a traffic accident on I-44 in Phelps County. The accident began when a tractor operated by Benjamin Sfarcioc struck the Steelman’s minivan, forcing it off the road and into a nearby utility pole.

Mr. Sfarcioc was not injured, and he was released at the scene. All parties were wearing safety belts at the time of the incident.
