When Scott and Jean Poe met three and a half years ago at a hospital, they never thought their wedding day would land them in the hospital again.

They met when they were both patients at another St. Charles County hospital and exchanged numbers.  When Scott was discharged from the hospital, he kept Jean’s number and called her a week later to see how she was doing.
 
Three and a half years later, they were ready to get married to each other, and had their ideal wedding planned.

Both Scott and Jean have been married before, so they didn’t want anything elaborate.  They had a practical small outdoor wedding planned at Indian Camp Creek Park in Foristell.  Their family was planning on coming, and they would celebrate with a reception afterward.

A Florissant woman escaped serious injury after her car went airborne and ended up in a creek. Rescuers say the creek was way below it's normal fast-rushing levels carrying water to the Mississippi.

"She left the highway, traveled about 130 feet, hit the chainlink fence and then flew into the creek," said Scott Avery of O'Fallon Fire Protection District

The 25-year-old woman was Westbound on Interstate 70 when she left the highway near the T.R. Hughes exit. O'Fallon Fire Protection District PIO Scott Avery said motorists quickly pulled over and rushed to her aid. She was conscious and talking, but needed help getting out of the car.

She was taken to St. Joseph's Health Center in St. Charles where she was treated and released. Rescuers say it's amazing the woman didn't suffer serious injuries. They said this could all have been a lot worse if the creek was up.
