On April 25th at approximately 11:05pm, a collision occurred on Dillon Road at Hillsboro Valley Park in Jefferson County. As a 2013 Buick Lacrosse was traveling east, a 2013 Toyota Avalon failed to stop at a stop sign and entered into the path of the Buick. The front of the Buick struck the front passenger side of the Toyota, dealing extensive damage to both vehicles. They were removed from the scene by High Ridge Auto.
The driver of the Buick, a 26-year-old woman, sustained serious injuries in the collision. A passenger of the same vehicle, a juvenile boy, also sustained serious injuries. Both were taken to St. Louis Children’s Hospital by High Ridge Ambulance District. The driver of the Toyota sustained moderate injuries, and was taken to SSM Health St. Clare by law enforcement officers. An occupant of the same vehicle, a 56-year-old woman, sustained serious injuries in the incident and was taken to Mercy Hospital South by High Ridge Ambulance. Other than the juvenile boy, no one in the accident was using a seatbelt or other safety device.
