A man driving on Salt River road in St. Peters around 6:00 A.M. was killed when his car crossed the center line and struck another vehicle starting a four car accident. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has reported that the car clipped one vehicle then struck two others. The standard procedure of having the driver’s blood analyzed was followed but results will likely not be available for weeks. Two of the passengers in the cars stuck were treated for minor injuries at the scene and a third victim was taken to the hospital.

The police have very little information to go on in this case and have no real idea why the driver may have crossed the line.  The fact is that the true cause of the accident never be known but the lives of at least three other people and their families have been dramatically affected by this incident.
