Fulton Police Department doesn’t plan to charge driver in Friday deadly car-pedestrian crash

FULTON, Mo. (KMIZ)

After a deadly car-pedestrian crash Friday afternoon, the Fulton Police Department doesn't plan to refer charges to the Callaway County prosecutor's office.

Major Dall Hedges told ABC 17 News on Saturday that he couldn't publicly share why. However, FPD is working to finalize an incident report that can be requested.

According to an FPD social media post, the crash happened in the 300 block of Mokane Road, where a car struck a pedestrian. The driver didn't have injuries, but the pedestrian was transported to a Columbia hospital and later died from their injuries.

Mokane Road has a speed limit of 40 miles per hour that dips down to 30 miles per hour. The road has no sidewalks and very narrow shoulders. An ABC 17 News reporter saw that the section of road where the crash happened was narrow and lined with trees on both sides.
