A Fenton man and boy were injured Sunday, Aug. 28, in an accident at Romaine Creek Road and Caleb Crossing north of Arnold, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported.
At 6:20 p.m., Kevin D. Strange, 62, of Fenton was driving a westbound 2007 Toyota Yaris when he ran off the right side of the road and struck a utility pole and then a tree, the report said.
Strange was seriously injured, and the 12-year-old boy who was a passenger in the car was moderately injured, and both were taken by Rock Township Ambulance to Mercy Hospital South in south St. Louis County, according to the report.
Strange was treated and released, a hospital spokesperson said.
No information about the boy’s condition was available.
Strange was not wearing a seat belt and the juvenile was wearing one, the patrol reported.
The vehicle was totaled, the report said.
The patrol did not release the boy’s name because he is a juvenile.
