Kansas City, MO (January 12, 2025) – An early-morning accident on Saturday resulted in injuries to two drivers and disruptions to traffic on southbound Interstate 29.
According to reports, the collision occurred at approximately 8:02 a.m. just south of the 2.8-mile marker in Clay County. A 2010 Toyota Corolla, driven by a 36-year-old woman from Kansas City, MO, was traveling southbound when she slowed for traffic. A 2024 Chevrolet Trax, driven by a 38-year-old man from Arkadelphia, AR, struck the Corolla for reasons that are still being inquired by the police.
The impact caused moderate damage to both vehicles, which were subsequently towed from the scene by GT Tow based in Smithville, MO. Emergency medical services arrived at the site and assessed both drivers, who suffered minor injuries in the crash. The female driver of the Corolla and the male driver of the Trax were transported to North Kansas City Hospital for further evaluation and care.
Troopers with the Missouri State Highway Patrol, including CPL B.A. Shows and TPR C.W. Norris, assisted in the crash investigation and scene management.
We hope both individuals injured in this accident recover quickly.
