Officials are investigating a report of improvised explosive devices having been detonated on or near an unimproved portion of a road in Livingston County,

Sheriff Steve Cox said early Wednesday evening the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office and the Missouri State Fire Marshall’s Office began investigating the report on a portion of Liv 510 in the northwest part of the county.

“The reporting party described driving down the roadway and passing what was described as a trip wire placed across the roadway,” Cox said. “Upon driving over or through this there was some type of explosion near the vehicle. The driver continued on and saw a similar set up down the roadway and turned around instead of getting any closer and reported a second explosion near the vehicle.”

Cox said little to no damage was found to the vehicle.  They did not find any other devices in the area.  He said the devices were found in a part of the county that receives an extremely low amount of traffic.

“This investigation continues with assistance from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Missouri State Highway Patrol Bomb Unit, NITRO-ATF Task Force, and the FBI,” Cox said.
