Woman killed, toddler critically hurt in NW St. Louis pedestrian crash

It happened on West Florissant Avenue near Arlington Avenue.

ST. LOUIS, MO – A 39-year-old woman lost her life due to a pedestrian collision Monday afternoon in northwest St. Louis that left a young child critically injured, reports KSDK.

The fatal incident unfolded on West Florissant Avenue near Arlington Avenue, prompting an emergency response just after 2:00 p.m.

A preliminary investigation by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department determined that the woman, who was likely trying to avoid the ice-covered sidewalks, was pushing a stroller westbound in the bike lane. At one point, an 80-year-old driving eastbound in the right lane veered into the bike lane, fatally striking the woman and seriously injuring the 2-year-old child in the stroller. The vehicle then proceeded to slam through a snowbank and into a nearby home.

First responders pronounced the woman deceased at the scene, and the young child was rushed to an area hospital in critical condition.

The driver, who remained at the scene and cooperated with an investigation, was also taken to a local hospital for an evaluation.

An investigation remains underway, but KSDK crews noted that the area sidewalks were covered in ice and snow at the time of the incident, making them unusable.
