On Sunday, February 24, 2008, at approximately 2am, police officers were called to the scene of a fatal Missouri car accident at the 1000 block of Loekes Drive in Florissant, Missouri.
According to Florissant, Missouri police, William Karabus, 18-year-old Trevyn Simpson and three other unidentified passengers were traveling at a high rate of speed in a 2005 Nissan. The driver, Trevyn Simpson failed to negotiate a 90 degree turn, resulting in Simpson crashing into a ranch home.
Simpson was pronounced dead at the scene. A 20-year-old passenger was critically injured and transported to an area hospital. Two other teen passengers were treated and released by area hospitals.
Chief Karabus says the 2005 Nissan stuck the ranch home with so much force it knocked part of the foundation into the basement. The home owner was not home at the time.
