🚨 Reckless Driver Drops His Daughter Off Before Crashing Into Alley Pole — St. Louis, Missouri (June 14, 2023) St. Louis officers patrolling the Wells‑Goodfellow neighborhood spotted a gray Hyundai Sonata illegally pass another motorist. The driver — later identified as Marcus S. — ignored traffic signals, sped through intersections, and created a major public‑safety hazard through a construction zone and residential neighborhoods. The Sonata eventually turned onto Kingshighway, where officers saw it pull up to a residence where several children were playing basketball in the street. The kids had to jump out of the way to avoid being struck. A young girl exited the vehicle and ran inside the home. As officers approached, Marcus briefly opened the driver’s door, then sped off again, attempting to escape through a nearby alley. His getaway ended when he struck a utility pole, disabling the vehicle. Officers conducted a felony stop and took Marcus into custody without further incident. A search of the vehicle revealed a loaded Taurus G2C 9mm handgun. Marcus admitted he was afraid to stop for police and confirmed the child he dropped off was his daughter.
