Ballwin woman killed in crash after wrong turn
The early morning crash that killed a Ballwin woman is being called a tragic accident.
Twenty-four year old Brooke Bahmler was killed when her car was T-boned on Illinois Route 3 at Yellow Brick Road.
Sauget Police Chief Patrick Delaney says Bahmler had just left Lacledes Landing with her sister and a friend when she made a wrong turn and ended up in Illinois. Bahmler was reportedly turning around when the crash occurred about 3:00 a.m. Sunday.
Chief Delaney says toxicology tests will be conducted, but they don't believe alcohol was involved in the accident.
Bahmler's sister and the other passenger in her car were both seriously injured, but are expected to survive. The driver of the other car was treated for minor injuries.
