73-year-old Driver Dead After Car Crashes into Home
July 18, 2023, ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — A 73-year-old woman was killed Tuesday afternoon when her car crashed into a Lemay home. The crash happened at around 2:30 p.m. near the intersection of Kingston Drive and Telegraph Road. The car could be seen lying upside down in the wreckage of the home's front wall. The St. Louis County Police Department said a vehicle was traveling southbound on Kingston Drive toward Telegraph Road at an "extremely high rate of speed," veered off the roadway, hit an embankment, and went airborne. The vehicle crashed into a home, causing significant damage. A second home was also damaged. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. She was identified Wednesday afternoon as C.D. of St. Louis. A spokesperson from St. Louis County Police said, "This was not a blatant speeding situation but may have been the result of a medical emergency." The woman's identity has not been released as of Tuesday evening. |

Probably had a stroke and stomped on the gas pedal. She was, literally and figuratively, FLYING! |

This generous soul was testing the physics of the modern automobile to see whether it has the same elastic bouncing properties as a tennis ball. It does not. |
