"The Springfield Police Department is continuing its investigation into the early morning motorcycle crash that killed Curt Russell, 30, of Battlefield, MO. The crash occurred at 2:30 a.m., when Russell, driving west bound on Mt. Vernon, failed to yield to a police officer attempting to stop him for a license violation. The officer activated his emergency lights and Russell did not yield. The officer did not pursue the motorcycle.
"Russell continued westbound and disobeyed a flashing red signal at Scenic. Russell then lost control of the motorcycle crashing into a concrete culvert. He was transported by EMS to a local hospital where he died.
