Immediate Release

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 an accident and no one is injured,
the drivers are to exchange information including names, addresses, phone numbers,
insurance companies, and policy numbers.

Officers will respond to any accident involving injuries or where one of the drivers leaves
the scene without exchanging information.

Drivers who are involved in a non-injury accident during the storm and would like an
accident report may come to the Joplin Police Department after the weather conditions
improve and complete a form.
