An accident last week on Gravois Road left one teenager dead and two others injured after the car the teen was riding in struck a utility pole in the early hours of Oct. 29.
According to a release from St. Louis County Police, the accident happened at approximately 1:20 a.m. near Gravois Road and Cinnabar Drive in the Sappington area of South County.
A preliminary investigation revealed that a Lexus sedan that the teen and five other passengers were riding in was traveling at high speed on eastbound Gravois when it left the roadway and struck a utility pole.
