Two policemen from the St. Charles County Police Department and five officers from the Lake Saint Louis authorities Department were working together in the Auto Task Force to block two lanes of traffic when they were hit by a dark Jeep Cherokee, as stated by the authorities. The Auto Task Force is responsible for blocking the lanes of traffic.
The officers had been pursuing a suspect in a car theft when the suspect crashed, and they had been managing the debris when they were hit, as reported by the Associated Press. The Jeep Cherokee reportedly made an attempt to swerve, but it ended up colliding with a police car that was parked on the side of the road at Lake Saint Louis. As a result of this collision, one officer was ejected from the police car, which then spun out of control and crashed with two other Lake Saint Louis policemen who were standing nearby. The officer who was ejected suffered serious injuries as a result of this accident.
