ST. LOUIS • A multi-car crash in St. Louis Sunday afternoon involved a car that kept going after the driver bailed out and an out of control Jeep that hit several other vehicles, according to a Post-Dispatch sportswriter who was in a vehicle sideswiped in the mayhem.

Police had few details Monday, saying officers were still preparing a report on the crash. They said a vehicle was heading north on Kingshighway at Vandeventer when it crossed the center line and struck an oncoming vehicle about 4 p.m. The second vehicle spun out of control and struck two other vehicles before coming to rest.

At least one person involved was taken to a hospital for treatment, police say.

But Derrick Goold, baseball writer for the Post-Dispatch, said he witnessed much of the unfolding crash as he rode in a car that was waiting at a light to turn south on Kingshighway from Vandeventer. He said he and his friend "were sitting ducks" as an out-of-control driver hit several vehicles.
