The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department was called to the crash just before midnight at North Florissant and Bremen avenues. According to a preliminary investigation, a group of people on minibikes was driving southbound on North Florissant.

One of the bikes, driven by 35-year-old Brandon Wells of St. Louis, entered the intersection and struck the right front corner of a Chevy Equinox driving westbound on Bremen.
