BALLWIN, Mo. (AP) — Police have identified three teens killed in a fiery crash in a St. Louis suburb that also seriously injured two others. The crash happened shortly after 4 a.m. Sunday near Ballwin when a car carrying the teens went out of control and slammed into a tree before bursting into flames. The St. Louis County police said Monday in a news release that those killed included the car’s driver, 16-year-old Cole Anello, of Manchester; 15-year-old Rhegan Sajben, of Wildwood; and 15-year-old Jacob Keifer, of Ballwin.
