Edwardsville woman dies in head-on crash in O’Fallon

An Edwardsville woman died Monday night in a head-on collision in O’Fallon.

St. Clair County Coroner Calvin Dye Sr. identified the woman as Carol L. Hook, 52, of the 200 block of Kiowa Street. She was pronounced dead at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital at 5:33 p.m. Monday night, Dye said.

O’Fallon Police asked drivers to avoid Scott Troy Road between Oak-Hill School Road and Keck Ridge Monday evening warning of a “severe traffic crash.”

O’Fallon Police Lt. Michael Mojzis said Tuesday the driver of the other vehicle in the crash was transported to a local hospital. That person’s condition is not known.

The road was closed for several hours.

Mojzis said the police department is investigating the crash with the help of the Illinois State Police Crash Reconstruction Unit.
