Kenneth S. Tatum, 40, of House Springs died Aug. 14 in a three-vehicle accident on I-55 south of Imperial Main Street, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported.
At 11:35 p.m., Tatum was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier north on the interstate, lost control and struck a concrete median before the car slid back into the traffic lanes, where a northbound 1996 GMC Yukon and a northbound 2013 GMC Terrain both struck the passenger side of the Cavalier, the report said.
Timothy M. Presley, 43, of Wood River, Ill., was driving the Yukon, and Joseph T. Butler, 30, of St. Louis was driving the Terrain.
No injuries were reported for Presley, but Butler had minor injuries and was taken by Rock Township to Mercy Hospital South in south St. Louis County, where he was treated and released, a hospital spokesman said.
Tatum was pronounced dead at the scene by Rock Township personnel, the report said.
He was not wearing a seat belt, and Presley and Butler were wearing them, the patrol reported.
All three vehicles were totaled, the report said.
