Moderate injuries reported in crash west of St. Louis Int. Airport 

ST. LOUIS, MO – A 54-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy had to go to the hospital following a pursuit-turned-crash that happened west of the St. Louis International Airport on Wednesday.

Missouri State Highway Patrol said the events unfolded after midnight on I-70. At the time, the 17-year-old boy was driving a 2019 Honda Odyssey, and going east. The young driver was actively fleeing from law enforcement and hit a tire deflation device on the road. The crash disabled his vehicle and caused it to collide with a 2022 Freightliner Cascadia not involved in the pursuit.

The truck had struck the driver’s side of the Honda, leaving the car with significant damage and the truck with minor damage.

St. Charles police and Pattonville fire and EMS crews also responded to the scene. Ambulance personnel transported the truck driver, the 54-year-old man, to Barnes-Jewish Hospital and the teenage driver to SSM Health DePaul Hospital.

The occupants are recovering from moderate injuries.

Troopers did not specify why the young driver was fleeing, nor did they announce any charges at this time.
