2007 Highway Reports

February 2, 2007 - 9:15pm - Unit #220 assisted two Sunset Hills Police officers as they removed debris from northbound I-270 just north of Gravois Road. A report of a ladder in the roadway was the reason for the cleanup. 220 was the first to arrive on scene and he noticed several vehicles on the outer shoulder with their hazard lights on. When he got out of his vehicle he noticed parts of the ladder all over the highway as other motorists continued to travel over the pieces. dragging them into other lanes of traffic. One Sunset Hills officer shutdown the highway and started to pick up the debris as 220 assisted by being a lookout for the officer. A secondary officer arrived two minutes later. Only two vehicles were damaged and needed police reports.

March 10, 2007 - 9:15pm - Unit #220 attempted to assist a stranded motorist on the inside lane of eastbound I-44 close to the Meramec River Bridge. When 220 arrived on the scene, he spotted a red Dodge Ram pickup that had completely lost a tire on the driver's side rear of the vehicle. Plus, the vehicle was partially on the yellow line, creating a further hazard (one that would require immediate police attention). 220 contacted the Sunset Hills Police dispatcher by cell and told him of the situation. The dispatcher sent an officer to the area but it was not Sunset Hills' jurisdiction. 220 then contacted St Louis County Police and gave them the info. Twenty minutes later, a Fenton Police officer arrived on the scene and took control. He thanked 220 for sticking around. The vehicle was eventually towed and removed from the highway.

Multiple units were called to the scene. When 220 arrived on scene a few minutes later, he assisted the Eureka Police & Fire Departments with traffic control near the intersection while injuries were being tended to and reports being written. Two vehicles were involved in a head-on collision with multiple injuries to both drivers and passengers.

April 9, 2007 - 10:35am - Unit #220 assisted two stranded motorists sitting in a vehicle on Hwy 100 near Old Hwy 109.

The driver (upon remembering that he had OnStar) returned the list to 220 and thanked him for his help.
