🚨 Friendly Reminder from Your Police Department

This is a stop sign. It’s a big red octagon with four important letters: S-T-O-P.

It means you are required by law to come to a complete stop before proceeding through the intersection. Rolling through a stop sign also known as a “California Stop” doesn’t count, we are in Missouri not California.

Stopping completely helps prevent accidents, keeps pedestrians safe, and not getting a ticket!!

Let’s all do our part to keep our community safe. Please stop at stop signs. It’s simple!

Earlier this evening, the Aurora-Marionville Police Department (AMPD), along with multiple first responder agencies, responded to a serious two-vehicle crash on Highway 60 near Lawrence 1247.

Upon arrival, emergency personnel discovered both vehicles heavily damaged and three individuals critically injured. Bystanders at the scene courageously assisted in removing the injured occupants just moments before both vehicles became fully engulfed in flames.

The injured parties were transported from the scene for medical treatment. Their current conditions have not been confirmed at this time.

This crash remains under active investigation, and no additional details are being released pending further review.

We ask the community to join us in keeping the injured individuals and their families in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult and critical time.
