MOLINE ACRES, MO — Marc Stovall of Florissant has been charged in connection with a Jan. 2 wrong-way crash on Highway 367 that left two people dead and three others hospitalized with serious injuries.
Charging documents filed Friday accuse Stovall of two counts of first-degree involuntary manslaughter, three counts of second-degree assault and one count of possession of a controlled substance. He is being held on a $750,000 cash-only bond.
According to KSDK, investigators said Stovall went to two different bars, consumed alcohol and mushrooms, and then drove a Chrysler 300 northbound on Highway 367 at speeds above 100 mph in a 45 mph zone.
Authorities said he tried to change lanes to pass another vehicle, began to skid, went off the roadway, overcorrected multiple times and crossed into oncoming southbound traffic.
The Chrysler then slammed head-on into a Mazda 3, killing 22-year-old Arianna Elliott, who was driving the Mazda. Two passengers in that car, 18-year-old Janae Richardson and 21-year-old Shamiya Dyson, suffered serious injuries.
A 26-year-old passenger riding in Stovall’s vehicle also died, and another passenger, a 31-year-old woman, was seriously injured.
Investigators said an officer witnessed the crash and that part of the collision was captured on surveillance video. Charging documents also say Stovall initially lied about drinking, and a trooper found mushrooms in his vehicle.
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
