Recorded radio traffic from police dispatchers indicated they received numerous
911 calls reporting the crash and that several people had been ejected from the
vehicle.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says a 2001 Ford F-350 was driving on the entrance ramp from westbound Shawnee Mission Parkway to northbound I-435.
“The driver of vehicle one lost control on the entrance ramp,” according to KHP’s crash log. “After vehicle one left the roadway, the vehicle overturned onto I-435.”
Troopers say the driver and three passengers were not wearing seat belts and all four ejected onto the Interstate.
Johnson County Med-Act transported three of the injured to Overland Park Regional Medical Center and one to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas. Troopers have all injuries classified as “suspected serious injury.”
