ST. LOUIS COUNTY (KMOX) - Three people died and four others were hurt in a multi-vehicle wreck in St. Louis County Sunday night. The Missouri State Highway Patrol says it was caused by a vehicle that was speeding.
It happened around 6:30 p.m. on Interstate 270 near West Florissant Road. A crash report states a Lexus IS-250 was driving too fast when it lost control and slid into a Kia Sorento and GMC Acadia. All the vehicles were traveling east on I-270.
After hitting the other vehicles, the Lexus went off the side of the road, started to roll and then struck a chain link fence and came to a stop near Pershall Road. Three passengers inside the Lexus died – all three were not wearing seatbelt, according to the report.
