On Sunday July 30th, 2023 at approximately 02:55 hrs., St. Louis County 911 dispatchers were notified via an automated 911 call stating that an IPhone user had been in a severe crash at the intersection of Vermillion Dr. and 2nd St. SE with in the City of Cook. It appears that the vehicle had been traveling South at a high rate of speed, lost control after going over the railroad crossing, left the roadway, and struck the crossing arm control on the South side of the road / train track crossing. The vehicle ultimately came to rest on its roof in the East ditch of 2nd St. SE. Both parties were transported to the Cook Hospital by ambulance with what is believed to be minor injuries, however the 18 yr old driver from the Nett Lake area is being investigated for criminal vehicular operation and driving while under the influence.
