Tyrone Booker, 39 of Florissant, rode with Ronald Mottley, of St. Louis, in a 2001 Chevrolet Impala. Mottley swerved to avoid hitting a car that had unsafely changed lanes, according to the Missouri Highway Patrol report.
The car crashed into a vacant car that was blocking the right shoulder and part of the right lane and then overturned.
