ST. LOUIS, MO — A young policeman with the St. Louis Police Department has died of injuries from an Oct. 6 crash in his patrol car, the department announced Friday.

Officer Julius Moore, 23, died at about 6 p.m. Thursday at St. Louis University Hospital.

Moore had been at the hospital’s intensive care unit in critical condition since the crash.

Moore was hurt 10 days ago when he collided with a tractor-trailer at the intersection of South Broadway and Arsenal Street. Moore was in his patrol car, with the lights and sirens on, rushing to help other Third District police officers catch burglars. Just before 1 p.m. on Oct. 6, Moore’s patrol car and the truck were both heading south. The truck started to make a right turn and struck the officer’s car, pushing it into a traffic light and a brick wall.

Please pray for the family and agency.
