St. Louis, MO : Passenger died after a fatal crash at the intersection of Ohio Avenue and Winnebago Street on Tuesday, Oct 6, 2015

A 15-year-old boy crashed a stolen car Monday night in the city’s Gravois Park neighborhood, killing one of his passengers and critically injuring another.

The woman whose car he broadsided at an intersection suffered minor bruises.

The dead passenger, a male, has not been identified. A male passenger who survived was in critical and unstable condition at a hospital Tuesday morning, police said. Police did not give their ages.

The boy driving the car was taken to a hospital; his injuries weren’t disclosed, but police said he was stable.

Police gave information about the incident Tuesday after sorting out details of the crash late Monday night.

Authorities say the car was taken in a carjacking in the 3100 block of Wyoming Street, south of Tower Grove Park, about 6:45 p.m. It wasn’t immediately clear if any of the males in the car when it crashed were involved in the carjacking.

The crash was about 10:10 p.m. Monday at Ohio Avenue and Winnebago Street. The 15-year-old driver was heading north on Ohio when the car collided with a car going west on Winnebago. A woman, 33, driving the other car suffered minor bruising and was taken to a hospital for evaluation.

The impact of the collision pushed the woman’s car to the 3600 block of Ohio; the stolen car hit a fire hydrant and crashed into a brick building in the 2700 block of Winnebago.

Water from the broken hydrant was gushing for hours. The St. Louis city Water Division said work on the hydrant required shutting off water in the neighborhood, and it wanted to wait until later Tuesday to begin the work so residents would have water in the morning.
