St. Louis Man Dies After Devastating Car Accident
On May 16, 2011, a man driving on westbound Highway 40 crashed and died according to Stltoday.com. The accident occurred around 5:50 a.m. when the 26-year-old driver’s car collided with some barrels at an exit, forcing the vehicle across the westbound lanes thereby hitting the median.
According to the report, the driver was ejected from his vehicle. The accident shut down westbound Highway 40 near Market Street for hours. The shutting down of the highway caused traffic back up all the way into Illinois. Following the crash, the police department’s accident reconstruction team was notified and they rushed to the scene. After their work was completed on the interstate, they reopened the highway.
