Florissant, MO – Teen Injured After Truck Crashes Into Home on Charbonier Rd

Florissant, MO (November 30, 2025) – A 14-year-old girl suffered serious injuries on Friday, November 28, after a truck crashed into her bedroom on Charbonier Road, just west of North Lindbergh Boulevard. The crash happened around 1 a.m., waking the Florissant family as the vehicle plowed through the home’s exterior wall.

Home security footage showed the truck swerving, speeding, and screeching before slamming into the residence. The impact sent debris flying and threw the teen from her bed into a wall. Her parents said the door to her room was blocked when they tried to reach her.

Emergency crews treated the teen for extensive injuries. Her mother said she suffered a severe concussion, deep facial cuts needing 12 stitches, and widespread bruising. Doctors removed gravel and brick fragments embedded in her scalp and ear. She will require follow-up care, including possible scar revision surgery. 

The Florissant Police Department has not released additional details. The investigation is ongoing.

We extend our support to the young girl and her family as they cope with the injuries and trauma from this crash.

Vehicle-Into-Home Crashes in Florissant

Crashes where a vehicle leaves the roadway and strikes a home are rare but extremely dangerous, and Florissant has seen several of these incidents in recent years. In this case, the severity of the crash was heightened when the truck crashed directly through the home’s wall, injuring the teen inside. These types of collisions often cause significant structural damage because residential walls are not built to withstand the force of a moving vehicle. 

Across St. Louis County, local fire departments report multiple vehicle-into-building crashes each year, many of which involve speeding, distraction, or impaired driving. Nationally, the Storefront Safety Council estimates that vehicles crash into homes and buildings more than 100 times per day, with driver error being a leading cause. While most incidents involve commercial storefronts, residential crashes still make up a notable share, especially in suburban neighborhoods where houses sit just a few feet from the roadway.

In communities like Florissant, older streets were not designed with modern traffic speeds in mind. Many neighborhoods lack guardrails, bollards, or raised barriers, meaning even one out-of-control vehicle can cause devastating damage. When a pickup truck or SUV, vehicles with greater mass, strikes a home, the impact can breach exterior walls, collapse parts of the structure, and seriously injure anyone inside. 

After a vehicle crashes into a home, families often face multiple hardships at once: physical injuries, emotional distress, displacement, and costly repairs. Victims may require ongoing medical treatment, while homeowners must navigate insurance claims for both personal injury and structural damage. In Missouri, people injured due to a driver’s negligence, including crashes where a vehicle leaves the roadway, may pursue compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost income, and repair or replacement of damaged property.
