ST. LOUIS • A man driving a stolen car and his passenger were critically injured in a crash Tuesday morning after leading police on a pursue from East St. Louis Senior High School into St. Louis, police said.
One of them was pronounced dead after the car ran under the back of a tractor-trailer on North Broadway at East Carrie Avenue but was then rushed to a hospital after showcasing signs of life, officials say.
*CORRECTION* N. Broadway &Carrie – •MVA• Two total patients; both transported in critical condition. No fatalities. #STLCity
The driver and passenger were hospitalized in critical condition. Their names were not released. Police say the driver was eighteen years old; his passenger was a 16-year-old masculine.
Police recovered a handgun from the wreckage.
Michael Hubbard, the police chief of East St. Louis, said it commenced with a peak that two people were driving to the high school, at four thousand nine hundred one State Street, in a stolen car with weapons inwards to pick up a student. When police approached the silver Ford Taurus about 9:09 a.m., it fled.
The vehicle was involved in two collisions at Martin Luther King Drive and Collinsville Avenue, where the driver attempted to strike an officer who was on foot there, Hubbard said. It then crossed the Martin Luther King Bridge and ended up on Broadway, where it rammed the truck near O’Fallon Park, in the North Riverfront neighborhood.
Authorities said the driver of the car may have fired shots at police, but Hubbard said that had not been confirmed.
St. Louis Fire Capt. Garon Mosby said one person was trapped in the wreckage and had to be liberated by firefighters.
EDITOR’S NOTE: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said the car crash was fatal, based on information from police and fire department spokesmen. Authorities have now said that a medic originally pronounced one person deceased but then the person was taken to a hospital after displaying some life signs.
