Trail crossing sign posted near site of fatal July crash on Katy Trail

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

A “trail crossing ahead” sign has been posted near the site of a fatal crash that occurred over the summer.

A 9-year-old boy was killed on July 25, 2025, after he was hit by a pickup truck in the 12000 block of Cole County Road 391, previous reporting shows.

The boy was riding a bicycle with friends and family on the Katy Trail – which intersects with the road -- when he was hit by a northbound truck driven by a Holts Summit woman, previous reporting shows.

Residents had told ABC 17 News over the summer that they had wanted better signage and vegetation control near the crash site and that cyclists and other pedestrians regularly use the trail in that area.
