3 men, 1 woman lose lives to four-vehicle collision on I-170 North 

ST. LOUIS, MO – Four people died following a wrong-way crash that occurred along the St. Louis International Airport on Monday.

Missouri State Highway Patrol said the collision happened after 1:00 p.m. and involved four vehicles: a 2017 Chevrolet Equinox, a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder, and a 2010 Toyota Corolla. Preliminary details show that the Chevrolet driver, an 88-year-old man, was driving south on northbound I-170 and crashed head-on into the Jeep, driven by a 60-year-old man.

The force of the collision caused the Jeep to overturn and was struck by the Nissan, driven by a 20-year-old woman. A 25-year-old man driving the Toyota Corolla then crashed into the Chevrolet.

The Jeep driver and his passengers, a 65-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman, all died from their injuries at the scene.

Berkley Fire Protection District rushed the wrong-way driver, the 88-year-old man, to Barnes-Jewish Hospital, where he later died at 1:18 p.m.

The two other drivers were uninjured.

Terry’s Towing removed all totaled vehicles from the site.

Troopers did not reveal why the elderly man was driving the wrong way.

New details will be added after our team learns more.
