Analysis
Monthly Crash Summary — City of St. Louis
Over the current 31-day window, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department recorded 971 crash reports within city limits. These crashes resulted in 49 reported injuries. Hit-and-run incidents, where at least one driver fled the scene, accounted for 33.8% of all crashes — a persistent challenge for crash investigation and victim support in the city.
Multi-vehicle crashes involving two or more vehicles represent the majority of incidents, with an average of 2.0 vehicles involved per crash report. The temporal data reveals distinct patterns in when crashes occur: rush hour periods and late-night hours tend to show elevated crash rates, while early morning hours between 4 AM and 6 AM typically see the lowest activity. Understanding these patterns helps inform enforcement scheduling and public awareness efforts.
This data covers only the City of St. Louis proper (SLMPD jurisdiction) and does not include St. Louis County, state highway patrol incidents, or the Metro East region. Data typically lags approximately three business days as reports are filed and approved. For full methodology details and limitations, visit the About page.
