St. Louis Missouri Car Wreck Injures Two Students
Two St. Louis elementary children were seriously injured while waiting for a bus at the intersection of Page and Grand today. The girl, thirteen years old, and the boy, fourteen, were transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. The children were hit by a pickup truck that was traveling east on Page and attempting to make a right hand turn onto Grand when it spun out of control, striking the teenagers. After the truck stopped, the driver attempted to flee, but was restrained by a witness and held until police arrived. Police think the driver may be a suspect in a nearby house break in.
The children were taken to the hospital with serious personal injuries, but are listed in stable condition. The driver of the truck sustained only minor injuries.
