Officer David Lee

Officer Lee was struck by a vehicle on Interstate 70 eastbound near Grand Avenue while working at the scene of an auto accident. The driver of the vehicle was arrested and charged with DWI death of a law enforcement officer, exceeding the posted speed limit, and operating a vehicle without a license.

In March 2025, The Missouri House Special Committee on Urban Issues advanced House Bill 957 to rename the section of I-70 between Carrie Avenue and Adelaide Avenue as the Police Officer David Lee Memorial Highway.
