Kansas City, KS (November 12, 2026) – Two people were injured in a Kansas City car accident involving three vehicles on Interstate 35 on Wednesday afternoon, November 11. The collision occurred at approximately 2:44 p.m. along the southbound lanes near milepost 232.3, about one-tenth of a mile south of 18th Street in Wyandotte County.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, all three vehicles were traveling southbound when traffic began slowing because of a roadway hazard. A 2018 Ford Explorer struck the rear of a 2024 Chevrolet Camaro, and a 2025 Ford F-150 subsequently collided with the back of the Explorer, resulting in a three-vehicle chain-reaction crash.
The Explorer’s driver, 53-year-old Sheli Johnson of Shawnee, Kansas, suffered injuries and was transported to the University of Kansas Medical Center for treatment. The Ford F-150’s driver, 64-year-old Scott Miller, also of Shawnee, was reported injured in the collision. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
We hope both injured drivers make a full and speedy recovery.
A Kansas City car accident involving several vehicles can result in injuries even when traffic is moving at reduced speeds. Rear-end collisions often occur when motorists encounter sudden slowdowns, unexpected roadway hazards, or stopped vehicles along busy highways.
In a Kansas City car accident involving multiple impacts, occupants may experience forces from different directions as their vehicles are struck from behind or pushed into another vehicle. These impacts can cause concussions, neck injuries, back pain, and other conditions that interfere with daily activities. Some injuries may not produce noticeable symptoms immediately, making medical evaluations and follow-up care important after a collision. Keeping records of medical treatment and changes in symptoms can also help document how an accident has affected an injured person’s health.
Insurance claims following a Kansas City car accident can become complicated when several drivers and insurance companies are involved. Each insurer may conduct its own investigation, review vehicle damage, and evaluate whether its policyholder contributed to the collision. After a Kansas City car accident, injured individuals may encounter disagreements over liability, medical expenses, or the amount of compensation available for their losses. Kansas follows a modified comparative negligence system, which generally allows injured motorists to recover damages when they are less than 50% responsible for a collision, with compensation reduced according to their percentage of fault.
Preserving photographs, witness information, medical records, and the official crash report can help establish the circumstances of the accident. Injured individuals should also be aware of Kansas’s general two-year deadline for filing personal injury lawsuits, although certain exceptions may apply.
After a Kansas City car accident, you need someone who recognizes that your case is about more than medical bills.
