ST. LOUIS — A child and two adults were seriously injured in a multi-car crash in north St. Louis Wednesday night.
St. Louis Fire Captain Garon Mosby said the crash happened just before 8 p.m. in the 5900 block of Mimika in St. Louis' North Pointe neighborhood.
A St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department spokesman clarified on Friday that seven vehicles were involved in the crash, five of them were parked with no one inside.
Mosby said two of the cars involved in the crash flipped and multiple people were trapped inside their cars.
A 33-year-old man who was behind the wheel of one vehicle, along with a woman and 10-month old baby who were in another car were taken to the hospital for injuries. Police did not have an update on their condition but said their vitals were stable.
A witness told 5 On Your Side's Justina Coronel that a car was driving the wrong way down the one-way street.
Patrick Lockhart, who lives on the street, said he went outside after he heard the boom.
"My cousin and others were trying to get the baby out, got the baby out," he said. "The guy who did the damage, his car flipped over, we couldn’t get him out and the emergency vehicles had to get him out."
No other information about the crash was provided.
Police said the cause of the crash is still under investigation.
