ST. LOUIS — A man died after he was rushed to a St. Louis hospital for injuries from a Sunday morning crash on Interstate 70 at Salisbury Street.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said the crash happened at about 3:30 a.m. in the westbound lanes of I-70. A man driving a Mazda 5 was in a single-car crash and came to a stop in a lane of traffic after the crash.
While getting things out of his vehicle after the crash happened, the man and his car were hit by an oncoming Buick Lacrosse. The crash pushed the man's Mazda into the concrete median, and the Buick stopped in a lane of traffic.
Police said the driver of the Buick left the scene of the crash in another car. The man who was hit by the Buick was taken to a local hospital, where he died Sunday afternoon.
He was identified Monday as Carlos Antonio, a 32-year-old man from St. Louis County.
