Kansas City, KS (October 20, 2026) – Two people were injured in a three-vehicle crash involving an electric scooter in Wyandotte County on Saturday evening, October 17. The Kansas City car accident occurred around 5:23 p.m. at the intersection of 10th Street and Central Avenue.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, three vehicles were traveling eastbound on Central Avenue, just west of 10th Street. A 2004 Nissan Pathfinder struck the rear of a stopped C1S electric scooter, pushing the scooter into a 2023 Dodge Durango that was also stopped in traffic.
The Nissan driver, 47-year-old Celestino Rugerio-Lopez of Kansas City, Kansas, suffered suspected minor injuries and was transported to Providence Medical Center for treatment.
The electric scooter rider, 20-year-old Vegeta L. Crawford of Kansas City, Kansas, suffered suspected serious injuries and was taken to the University of Kansas Medical Center. Troopers reported that Crawford was not wearing a helmet or protective eyewear at the time of the collision.
The Dodge driver, 37-year-old Stephen C. Dyer of Kansas City, Kansas, was not injured. All three vehicles were removed from the scene by All City Tow. The Kansas Highway Patrol investigated the collision.
We hope both injured individuals make a full and speedy recovery.

Car accidents in Kansas can cause serious injuries, especially when multiple vehicles or electric scooters are involved. A Kansas City car accident involving a scooter can be particularly dangerous because riders lack the protection of an enclosed vehicle.

The study has several important findings:
These findings show why intersection design and driver awareness both matter. Motorists should maintain safe following distances and remain alert for smaller vehicles, particularly when approaching stopped traffic.
