Garret BlaineHelp finding investigating agency - MV Accident MO
I witnessed some events last night that lead to a horrific accident on interstate 270 in MO (north county for those familiar with the St Louis area). It is bothering me and I feel like I should at least tell someone what I saw but I cannot find any information other than some news blurbs that said the highway was shutdown due to an accident. It’s not listed on MSHP website and I can’t find a listing on St Louis counties website.
Anyone know how or where to find which agency investigated this accident?

DaBigBRIf it was on the interstate, I would start by checking with the state highway patrol post/barracks/district/whatever that covers the area. The odds are probably that they would have worked the crash. If not, they would know who did.
It's possible that there is a delay in the reports getting to the website, especially if it's serious and/or still under investigation or pending notification to families if a fatality.
Here's the page for the troop covering the area:

a1abdjCould have been state, county, or municipal officers involved (or a combination of any of the above). Do you know what the closest exit was?

MikeinNCCall the highway patrol in that area, explain you were a witness and they should be able to point you to the investigating officer.

On another note thanks for doing the right thing. One person did that for me before after I was hit and it properly laid the blame on the other person so my insurance did not go up. I found out who it was and sent them a 12-pack of beer.
