KANSAS CITY, MO – Three people were injured, including two Kansas City police officers, in a collision early Sunday morning.
According to the Kansas City Star, the incident happened in the area of U.S. 71 and Bannister Road. The two officers were responding to a truck that was wrecked and abandoned in the southbound lanes at about 4:30 a.m.
As the officers were waiting for a tow truck to arrive, their two Kansas City police vehicles were hit from behind by a Ford Fusion. The impact caused one of the officer’s vehicles to hit the other, which then collided with the abandoned truck.
