St. Louis County Crash Sends Injured Motorist to Local Hospital Emergency Room

Highway Patrol responded Tuesday morning to a 2 vehicle crash at the intersection of Highway 30 and Kennerly Road in St. Louis County. James Dimitro (High Ridge) was driving east on Highway 30 approaching the cross street of Kennerly Road. Geraldine Ferguson (St. Louis) was northbound on Kennerly Road approaching the intersection. Ferguson had a green light to proceed through the intersection, where she attempted to turn left on to southbound Highway 30. Dimitro failed to stop at his red light and traveled through the intersection, crashing head on in to the driver's side of Ferguson's vehicle. Emergency crews arrived at the scene and rushed Ms. Ferguson by ambulance to St. Anthony's emergency room for immediate medical attention. This St. Louis car accident caused substantial damage to both vehicles & required towing from the scene.

James Dimitro was uninjured and may have received a citation at the scene for failure to obey a traffic signal, although this remains uncomfirmed. Ms. Ferguson was apparently operating her vehicle within the laws for Missouri motorists when that collision took place. The injuries she sustained along with the extensive damage done to her vehicle could have and should have been avoided by Dimitro abiding by the same Missouri laws. Due to Dimitro's negligence, Ms. Ferguson has inherited a devastating amount of negative changes and a long road of recovery – physically, emotionally and financially.
