Nathan Spencer Missing After Hit-and-Run Crash on US 50/63 [Jefferson City, MO]

Jefferson City, MO (May 1, 2026) — Authorities in Jefferson City are searching for 20-year-old Nathan Spencer, who went missing after a morning crash and may require medical attention.

Police said Spencer was involved in a rear-end collision along the 2300 block of US 50/63 shortly after 9:30 a.m. Following the impact, he left the scene on foot and has not been seen since. The other driver reported minor discomfort but declined treatment.

Investigators later identified Spencer as the missing individual last seen walking near Cedar Creek Court and Expressview Drive, just north of the highway. Officers quickly launched a search operation, setting up a perimeter and using a drone to scan the area, but they were unable to locate him.

Authorities returned to the scene multiple times throughout the day, continuing their search efforts into the afternoon and early evening. Despite repeated attempts, they found no trace of Spencer.

Spencer is described as 6 feet tall, weighing about 230 pounds, with a red beard and collar-length red hair. He was last seen wearing a black shirt, a black jacket with two white stripes on the sleeves, jeans, and black shoes.

Police continue to focus their search in the eastern part of the city and surrounding county areas. They urge anyone who may have seen Spencer or has information about his whereabouts to come forward, as his condition remains unknown and he could need urgent care.

Do The Right Thing. Stay. Help. Take Responsibility.

A hit-and-run is not just a crime, but a devastating act of cowardice leaving victims injured, scared, and sometimes fighting for their lives. If you’re involved in a traffic accident, stop immediately. Call 911. Help those who are hurt.

Remember that fleeing the scene only worsens the situation and carries serious legal consequences, including felony charges. Victims deserve accountability and justice.

Leaving the scene of a crash can put lives at greater risk, especially if injuries are involved. If you or someone else is hurt after a collision, seek immediate medical attention and remain at the scene so first responders can provide help.
