Her patrol car went out of control while attempting to make a traffic stop.<\/p>\n<p>Officer Phylicia Carson, 33, of the Osage Beach Police Department, was on duty around 1:20 a.m. Sunday when she noticed a vehicle speeding on a rural road in Camden County, near the Lake of the Ozarks, according to Chief Todd Davis in a\u00a0press conference\u00a0held Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Carson activated her emergency lights and began to follow the suspect to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver accelerated and fled. During the chase, Carson lost control of her patrol car, veering off the road and crashing into a tree.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ob-readmore-th-position\">Chief Davis reported that upon impact, the patrol car burst into flames.<\/p>\n<p>The department received a report of a vehicle on fire along the highway where Officer Carson was pursuing the suspect.
