Fatal head-on crash reported at Bellefontaine Road & Shepley Drive

RIVERVIEW, MO – A pursuit-turned-collision in the Riverview neighborhood killed two teenage boys and injured four people Sunday.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the events unfolded before 1:30 p.m. when Riverview Police turned to pull over a 2021 Toyota Camry at the intersection of Bellefontaine Road and Shepley Drive. The Toyota driver, a 17-year-old boy, did not comply and immediately sped away on Shepley Drive, which prompted a pursuit.

The pursuit came to an end when the teenage driver veered from northbound Shepley Drive and into the southbound lanes and slammed into a 2015 Ram 2500 pickup truck driven by a 52-year-old man.

The pickup truck was hauling some cargo, which then fell onto a 2006 Mercury Montego driven by a 55-year-old man.

The 17-year-old boy and one of his passengers, a 16-year-old boy, died at the scene. His two surviving occupants, another 16-year-old boy and a 20-year-old man, were left in serious condition.

The 52-year-old man was left in moderate condition, and his passenger, a 50-year-old woman, was in serious condition.

The third driver was unharmed.

One Christian EMS ambulance took the surviving 16-year-old boy and 20-year-old man to St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and another took the 50-year-old woman to Barnes Jewish Hospital.

The 52-year-old man also went to Barnes Jewish Hospital but was taken there by means of private conveyance.
