JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)
A 20-year-old Jefferson City man has been found after he left the scene of a crash on Tuesday.
Nathan Spencer had last been seen after he was involved in a crash Tuesday morning in the 2300 block of Highway 50/63 westbound. His last known location was near Cedar Cre
ek Court and Expressview Drive, according to the Jefferson City Police Department.
Police found Spencer during a search at about noon Friday in a wooded area near the 300 block of Capital View Drive. He was conscious when searchers found him, JCPD stated in a news release.
The focus of the investigation shifted the day of the crash from looking into the circumstances of the crash to finding Spencer out of concern for his welfare, JCPD says, after investigators learned Spencer is autistic and might have had a mental health crisis.
The original crash remains under investigation, police stated.
