Andrea Medina among three killed in Bellefontaine Neighbors crash

BELLEFONTAINE NEIGHBORS, MO, (May 01, 2026) – A 28-year-old woman and two others were killed Friday night in a multi-vehicle crash in Bellefontaine Neighbors.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the collision occurred at approximately 8:30 p.m. on Lewis & Clark Boulevard. Investigators determined that a Cadillac SRX struck the side of a Lexus RX350, forcing it into the path of a northbound Toyota Highlander.

The impact caused the Lexus to overturn onto its roof, while the Cadillac left the roadway and collided with a tree.

The driver of the Highlander, identified as 28-year-old Andrea Medina, sustained severe injuries and was transported to an area hospital, where she later died.

Two occupants of the Lexus, 53-year-old Cherese Fisher and 18-year-old Jordyn Williams, were also taken to a hospital, where they succumbed to their injuries. Williams was a senior at Ritenour High School and had recently been named prom queen. Fisher was her aunt.

Authorities stated that the driver of the Cadillac has not yet been identified and is being sought for questioning.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol continues to investigate the crash.


FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

In many hit-and-run incidents, at-fault drivers attempt to evade responsibility by leaving the scene. However, once located, they can face serious legal consequences.

Leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal offense, and data shows that more than one hit-and-run accident happens every minute on roads across the United States.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, stated that it is critical to conduct an independent investigation promptly in order to protect the rights of victims.

“Access to the proper resources is vital when examining a hit-and-run crash and establishing negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“Factors such as road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all carefully reviewed as part of the investigation,” Bond added.

These steps are essential in helping families who have lost loved ones in hit-and-run crashes seek justice and obtain fair compensation.


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Andrea Medina may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of victims can seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic accident.

“The grief and emotional hardship following the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand the challenges families face, and protecting their legal rights is crucial. A wrongful death attorney can follow the investigation closely and help ensure the family’s best interests are represented,” he added.
