Statement from Parks and Recreation

(COLUMBIA, MO) -

We are shocked and saddened at the loss of a Parks and Recreation employee this morning. The accident occurred at a work site along the MKT Trail.

The investigation into the accident is ongoing. Questions at this time regarding the investigation should be directed to the police department. More information will be released once the family members have been notified. We cannot comment on the investigation right now, but we can say we value the safety of our employees over everything else.  

Right now our main concern is for the family and for our employees. We are providing counseling through the City’s Employee Assistance Program for those employees who would like assistance.

We ask that you keep the family in your thoughts.
