Collision happened on I-270 along Lilac Ave., MSHP says

ST. LOUIS, MO – A 35-year-old woman was killed, and a 13-year-old boy from East St. Louis was sent to a hospital after a single-vehicle crash on Monday.

The collision occurred after 5:30 a.m. on eastbound Interstate 270 along Lilac Avenue, near the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

MSHP said the 35-year-old woman was driving on the left lane when she drifted off the road and crashed her 2016 Chrysler 200 car into a guardrail. She continued driving and went into the second lane before colliding with a concrete barrier.

The car came to rest on the right shoulder, and she died from her injuries a short time later. The passenger with her, a 13-year-old, sustained minor injuries. Christian EMS transported him to St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
