Kansas City, MO (January 23, 2026) – One person was killed Thursday afternoon, January 22, after being pinned between two vehicles at a business located at 8750 NE Parvin Road in Kansas City.
According to the Kansas City Police Department, the victim had just unloaded a gray Dodge Caravan from a transport truck. The Caravan was not fully in park and began to roll backward. The victim attempted to get into the vehicle but became trapped between the rolling Caravan and a parked tow truck. Emergency responders transported the individual to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, and they were later pronounced dead.
The Kansas City Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances of the crash. We extend our sincere condolences to the family of the deceased and send our thoughts to all those injured as they recover from their injuries.
Being involved in a serious accident can be overwhelming, especially when injuries or fatalities are involved. The physical trauma, emotional stress, and uncertainty about what comes next can make it difficult to know where to start. A Kansas City personal injury lawyer can provide guidance, helping victims and their families navigate the complex aftermath of a crash.
An attorney can explain your options for pursuing compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain, and suffering. This can include immediate medical costs as well as ongoing treatment, therapy, or rehabilitation. Having a lawyer ensures that you understand your rights and are aware of all potential avenues for financial recovery.
Insurance companies often contact victims after an accident, sometimes applying pressure to settle quickly. Lawyers can handle all communications with insurers, making sure you are not persuaded to accept less than you deserve. They can review policies, determine coverage limits, and identify any responsible parties who may be liable for damages.
Additionally, a lawyer can help gather and preserve critical evidence, such as police reports, medical records, photographs of the accident scene, and witness statements. Proper documentation is essential if the case proceeds to court or a settlement is negotiated. Early and thorough evidence collection can significantly strengthen a claim.
For families affected by a fatal accident, legal guidance is especially important. Attorneys can assist with wrongful death claims, coordinate with multiple insurers, and help manage estate-related issues. This support provides reassurance during an extremely difficult time and ensures that victims’ and families’ rights are fully protected.
Working with a knowledgeable lawyer allows accident victims and their loved ones to focus on recovery, while having confidence that their legal and financial interests are being handled by professionals who understand the complexities of personal injury law in Kansas City.
