They said buses may be running late, but said faculty and staff would remain at the school to ensure the students were taken care of.
St. Louis County Police said the cars — a full-sized pick-up truck and a smaller passenger car — were traveling in opposite directions on 109 when they collided near Angelica Woods Lane. The smaller car was flipped when police arrived on the scene, and the woman driving the car, 66-year-old Kathleen Ross, was pronounced dead on the scene.
