Man flees fatal crash in St. Louis

ST. LOUIS — St. Louis police searched for a suspect who kicked out the windshield of his truck and fled the scene of a crash that claimed two lives.

The suspect, behind the wheel of a pickup truck, attempted to pass two men in another truck who were trying to pull over to a diner early Sunday.

The suspect's truck hit the other vehicle, and both trucks overturned onto their sides.

Both men in the second vehicle, Timothy Kreidler, 40, of Valley Park, and David Ditzler, 44, of St. Louis, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Diner patrons removed both victims from the truck before officers arrived, so it's not clear if either victim had been wearing a seatbelt, police spokeswoman Schron Jackson said in a statement.
