Kansas City, MO (October 24, 2024) – A serious multi-vehicle crash occurred on 210 Highway at North Eldon Avenue, leaving a pedestrian in critical condition. The incident took place when a white Kia Forte, which had stopped for unknown reasons, suddenly made a left turn into the path of an oncoming Peterbilt semi-truck.
The collision caused the Peterbilt to veer into the westbound lanes of the highway, where it struck a Freightliner semi-truck. The impact redirected the Freightliner’s trailer, which subsequently hit the pedestrian who was in the vicinity.
Emergency responders arrived promptly at the scene to assist those involved. The pedestrian, along with the driver of the Kia, was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. Fortunately, both drivers of the semi-trucks were uninjured in the incident.
Authorities are currently investigating the crash, and there are suspicions of possible impairment on the part of the Kia driver. The investigation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
Our thoughts are with the pedestrian and all those affected by this unfortunate accident.
