COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

All lanes are back open on Interstate 70 eastbound in Columbia near the Stadium Boulevard exit after a car crash involving police on Friday morning.

According to a social media post from the Boonville Police Department, around 3:34 a.m. Friday, a Cooper County deputy pursued a vehicle in Boonville that continued on I-70 eastbound. According to BPD, officers requested Boone County deputies to deploy tire spikes at the 124-mile marker on I-70. However, the suspect's vehicle avoided the spikes.

As the suspect's vehicle avoided the spikes, a Cooper County and a BPD patrol vehicle made contact. As a result, the BPD vehicle spun out of control and hit the concrete median barrier.

The BPD officer suffered minor scratches and burns from the airbag that deployed. The Cooper County deputy was not seriously injured.

The pursuit of the suspect's vehicle is under investigation.

Boone County Sheriff's spokesperson Brian Leer wrote in an email that a Boone County deputy set up the spikes but was unable to stop the suspect.

Around 4 a.m., ABC 17 News crews on scene saw four Boone County Sheriff's vehicles, along with two vehicles from the Cooper County Sheriff's Office.

Crews on scene reported one damaged vehicle along with a damaged Cooper County Sheriff vehicle that temporarily blocked one lane of traffic near mile marker 124 and the West Boulevard exit on I-70.
