Fatal Semi-Truck Pedestrian Accident on I-64: Attorney911 Legal Analysis and Accountability Guide A devastating fatal accident occurred on Friday morning, May 1, 2026, on Interstate 64 near O’Fallon, involving a semi-truck and a pedestrian. According to reports from the scene, the incident took place around 6:30 a.m. near mile marker 14. A white male pedestrian, who was carrying no identification at the time, was struck while attempting to walk across the westbound lanes of the interstate. The impact was immediate and catastrophic. St. Clair County Coroner Calvin Dye Sr. reported that the victim was pronounced dead at the scene by 7:15 a.m. The investigation led to the closure of two westbound lanes for nearly three hours, causing traffic to back up for miles while authorities worked to process the site.
