Statement Regarding Tragic Accident at 160 and Northview on 7/13/2022
July 14, 2022
The Nixa Police Department sends its heartfelt condolences to the Nixa community and families impacted by the tragic accident last night at the intersection of Northview and 160.
The Nixa Police Department would like to clarify the role we played in the incident. Upon learning of a police pursuit entering our jurisdiction, we assisted the Christian County Sheriff’s Department by deploying spikes stripes to stop or slow the suspect vehicle. Unfortunately, our efforts were evaded and the pursuit continued. At no time did our officers become directly involved in the pursuit itself. After the suspect vehicle crashed, Nixa Officers responded to the scene to assist the Christian County Sheriff’s Department and the Missouri State Highway Patrol with the investigation. The incident is still under investigation by the Highway Patrol and the Christian County Sheriff’s Office.
