ST. LOUIS — A man who died in a crash involving a tractor-trailer and two cars in north St. Louis on Dec. 15 has been identified.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department responded to the crash at around 8 a.m. at Riverview Drive and Hall Street, near the border of the Baden and North Riverfront neighborhoods.
Police said that according to preliminary information, a man was ejected and was pronounced dead. Police later identified him as 55-year-old Timothy Chatman of St. Louis.
According to the police report, the investigation revealed a 2013 Volkswagen Passat was traveling southbound on Hall Street when the driver lost control on the wet/icy road. This caused the car to slide sideways into oncoming traffic, striking a tractor-trailer.
Two women and a man were also injured in the crash. They were transported to area hospitals where police said their vitals were considered to be stable.
The department's Accident Reconstruction unit is handling the investigation.
