During a high-risk incident in November of 2025, Sgt. Talbott demonstrated exceptional leadership, sound decision-making and strong command presence. His ability to slow the situation down, coordinate resources and guide officers through a safe and deliberate response was instrumental in resolving the incident without serious injury.

***UPDATE***
All lanes are now cleared and open on West Pearce Blvd. Thank you for your patience as officers worked to clear the roadway. Be safe!

*** Traffic Alert***
Westbound Highway 70 is currently moving slowly and reduced to one lane between Wentzville Parkway to David Hoekel Parkway due to an overturned tractor trailer accident. 

The vehicle left the roadway and traveled onto West Pearce Blvd which is currently closed in both directions in the 2000 block.

There is heavy traffic congestion at this time, Eastbound Highway 70 is open but flowing slower. Please seek an alternative route or avoid the area as first responders work the scene. Thank you and be safe!

A few weeks ago my husband and I were driving east on W. Pearce, and as we got to this area, I said to him " this road is now going to be super close to 70, it's an accident waiting to happen!" And I also said I hoped they will install a better barrier in the end to prevent troubles. I would imagine headlight glare also would be terrible at night!

THEY WON'T SLOW DOWN!!!😡

I was at the scene, but the video is a bit sensitive. I've uploaded it to my post, so please check it out!

Can we have a community discussion before the guard rail is replaced and is 2 inches from the pavement?

That's what happens when you run the speed traps in areas that don't have the accidents..... Double fine zones don't work

,"Someone ,cavght' the whole'thing" ,"this one. News trending accident footage
