SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) – Authorities are asking the public for help identifying
the driver who killed the campus security manager at Missouri State University
in a hit-and-run crash.
The Springfield News-Leader reports 42-year-old Matthew Thomas Brown, of
Nixa, was killed Thursday when a Budget truck police believe was stolen
struck his Mitsubishi Hatchback. Police say the impact caused Brown to lose
control and collide with a SUV.
At the time of the crash he was headed home to his wife, Ivy, and their son and
two daughters after volunteering to stay late at work. The university’s director
of safety, David Hall, described the death as “tragic.”
Brown had worked at Missouri State since early 2011, except for a brief stint
in security at Ozarks Technical Community College.
