Oregon County chief deputy Nathan Murphy died after a head-on collision with Robert N. Raines, who was fleeing from a Missouri State Trooper. The chase began at around 8:30 a.m., when a trooper tried to stop Raines for a traffic violation on US 60. The pursuit continued into Oregon County at speeds of more than 100 mph before Raines' other struck Murphy's squad car on a county road north of Alton. Murphy was reportedly on his way to cut Murphy off at an intersection. Both vehicles burst into flames following the collision. Murphy was pronounced dead at a hospital. Raines, 23, sustained serious injuries. In 2002, Raines pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter and was sentenced to seven years in state prison and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine.
