St. Charles, MO (October 4, 2024) – A multi-vehicle collision occurred on October 3, 2024, at approximately 4:11 PM on eastbound MO-364, just east of Central School Road. The incident involved three vehicles and prompted a response from local emergency services.
Preliminary investigations revealed that all vehicles were traveling eastbound on MO-364 when the crash occurred. The first vehicle, a 2023 BMW M4 driven by 37-year-old Larry B. McElroy, was reported to be racing another vehicle that was not involved in the incident. The BMW was observed making unsafe lane changes and excessive speeding when it collided with a 2015 Autocar Xpeditor, operated by 37-year-old Husein Kuruzovic, which was in the adjacent lane.
As the BMW changed lanes, its left rear struck the front right of the Autocar, causing the BMW to lose control and skid. An unknown part of the BMW then struck the left front of the Autocar. The BMW continued to skid off the left side of the roadway, ultimately colliding with the concrete median barrier.
Emergency responders from St. Charles County Ambulance District arrived on the scene to provide medical assistance. Two individuals from the BMW were transported to Mercy St. Louis Hospital for treatment. Larry B. McElroy sustained minor injuries, while 24-year-old Gage M. McElroy, an occupant of the vehicle, suffered moderate injuries.
The driver of the third vehicle, a 2024 Nissan Altima operated by 27-year-old Brandley M. Williams, fled the scene after the incident. The Altima was also reported as a total loss.
