At 3:55 p.m., Justin M. Murphy, 32, of St. Charles was driving a 2006 GMC Envoy east on Hwy. 30 and failed to stop for a red light before the Envoy struck the left side of a 2016 Ford Escape that had been headed north on Old Sugar Creek Road and, with a green light, entered the intersection with Hwy. 30, the report said.
Richard L. Harris, 32, of High Ridge was driving the Escape. He and two passengers in the Escape – Kayla S. Harris, 29, and Kyla S. Harris, 10, both of High Ridge – were hurt, according to the report.
