Three injured, two seriously, in Missouri crash
Deborah Carpone, 49, and Steven Crawford, 51, were seriously injured Wednesday afternoon when their car collided with another on Highway 21 in Jefferson County.
According to the Highway Patrol, the Missouri car accident occurred at 4:20 p.m. when Robert Ellis, 50, who was traveling westbound on Highway 110, attempted to cross in front of Carpone and Crawford’s 1989 Chevrolet Blazer. Crawford, who was driving the Blazer, was unable to avoid crashing into Ellis’ 1990 Cadillac Seville.
Carpone and Crawford suffered serious injuries and were air lifted to St. John’s Hospital in St. Louis. Ellis received relatively minor injuries and was taken to Jefferson Memorial Hospital for treatment, according to the crash report.
While the initial crash report indicates Ellis pulled into the path of Crawford, this is just the opinion of the investigating officer and more investigation by an experienced St. Louis personal injury attorney will be needed to fully describe the specifics of the crash.
