Two men were injured in a Sunday night crash in rural Millstadt.

The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department said that shortly before 8:15 p.m., a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado was towing a small fishing boat westbound in the 6900 block of Triple Lakes Road when it left the right side of the roadway and the trailer and boat overturned before the truck came to rest in a ditch.

The driver of the truck, Dennis D. Kemp, 44, of Dupo, was arrested for DUI and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. Two passengers, men ages 48 and 38, were transported to separate hospitals for non-life threatening injuries.

The Columbia Fire Department and Columbia EMS assisted the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department at the scene.
