A 53-year-old man from Lake Saint Louis was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries he suffered from a single-car accident on Thursday afternoon. Donald Thomason was driving just after 4 p.m. eastbound on Hwy 40, just east of Lake Saint Louis Boulevard, when he travelled off the right side of the road, across a private drive and struck a utility pole. Thomason was immediately taken to Mercy Medical Center in Creve Coeur by a St. Charles County ambulance. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, he was wearing a safety device.

Tractor trailer flat tire causes accident on Highway 40 in O'Fallon.
A 36-year-old Wentzville man was taken to a nearby hospital Thursday after he was involved in a two-car accident with a tractor trailer near the intersection of Highway 40 and Highway K. Clyde Lindemann was driving eastbound on Hwy. 40 when a nearby tractor trailer blew a tire. The debris from the blow out travelled into Lindemann's lane, which forced him to travel off the right side of the road, back onto the highway where it struck the trailer before traveling off the right side of the road again. Lindemann's car then overturned. He was taken to Mercy Hospital in Creve Coeur by St. Charles County ambulance. No one else was injured in the incident. The accident backed up traffic for about an hour.
