ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - A car crashed into a house in south St. Louis County, killing the driver, Tuesday.

The accident occurred just before 2:30 p.m. on Kingston Drive near Telegraph. The day after the crash, St. Louis County police later identified the driver as 73-year-old Cheryl Doyon.

A neighbor provided News 4 with a video of the incident. The video showed the car going airborne and then crashing into the home.

St. Louis County Police said a preliminary investigation indicates that the vehicle was driving at an extremely high rate of speed, veered from the roadway, hit an embankment and went airborne. The car crashed into two homes, causing significant damage to one of them.

Veronica Schoettle lived in the house and told News 4 that four other people were inside at the time. Including her 3-year-old nephew, who was on a bed when the car struck the home and even pushed the bed, along with the child, but he was okay. She said the adults were sitting at a table talking politics when the car hit.

A sign on the front door said the house is condemned; Schoettle said the home she rents is a total loss.

This also wasn’t the first big crash on Kingston Drive.
