Lt. Wayne White of the Glen Carbon Police Department, said: "No Glen Carbon units engaged in the pursuit. However, while responding to aid other officers, a 13-year veteran, uniformed Glen Carbon sergeant, had a single-vehicle traffic crash on Highway 159, near its intersection with Highway 270. No other vehicles were involved, nor was any member of the public involved in the traffic crash, which resulted in the deployment of the squad car airbag."
