FREDENBERG TOWNSHIP — A 33-year-old man was hospitalized after a single-vehicle rollover crash late Monday night.
Emergency personnel responded to the incident in the 4800 block of West Pioneer Road shortly before 11 p.m., according to the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office. When first responders arrived, they found the man ejected from his vehicle and lying in the roadway.
