TWO INDIVIDUALS LOST THEIR LIVES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE ON I-55 IN SOUTH ST. LOUIS.(PHOTO).


 Two individuals lost their lives while attempting to change a flat tire on I-55 in South St. Louis.


According to reports, this tragic incident occurred shortly before midnight on Friday, December 12th. 


The chain of events that led to these two deaths began when Lejla Hadzi pulled over on the entrance ramp to I-55 from 4500 Broadway due to a flat tire.


Lejla called Demarion Hendricks to assist her in changing the tire. As Demarion was working on changing the tire, Lejla stood outside of the disabled Kia watching while her friend worked. 


At approximately 11:45 p.m., a Dodge Ram that was traveling northbound on Broadway attempted to use the entrance ramp to get onto I-55. The Driver of the Dodge Ram unfortunately struck Lejla and Demarion as he was changing her tire. The Dodge Ram eventually came to a stop after striking a nearby guardrail.


Lejla was pronounced deceased on scene. Demarion was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was ultimately pronounced deceased.


The driver of the Dodge Ram was also treated for minor injuries.  


According to reports, the driver said he saw the stalled Kia but did not see the individuals at all before striking them. 

The driver is  fully cooperating with authorities as the investigation into the incident proceeds.


Our thoughts are with the families of Lejla Hadzi and Demarion Hendricks.
