Emergency road conditions in place for Joplin


(From the Joplin Police Department)

We are currently working several crashes due to slick roads to include crashes on I-44 and a car that reportedly hit building. Please be aware if you are traveling tonight that the roads are slick.

Due to the inclement weather, the Joplin Police Department has initiated emergency road conditions. 

Under these conditions, the department asks all drivers to only venture out if it is absolutely necessary. If you are involved in a traffic crash and no one is injured, the drivers are to exchange information including names, addresses, phone numbers, insurance companies, and policy numbers. Drivers should also move their vehicles off of the roadway as soon as possible.








Officers will only respond to any crash involving injuries or where one of the drivers leaves the scene without exchanging information.
 
Drivers who are involved in a non-injury crash during the inclement weather and would like to complete a report may come to the Joplin Police Department after the weather conditions improve and complete a form. You may prefer to obtain the same form online at your convenience at http://dor.mo.gov/forms/1140.pdf.
