Police, firefighters, and paramedics were called to the intersection of 95th Street and Monrovia Street about 5:15 p.m.

Lenexa Police were first to arrive on the scene and reported that the motorcycle was off the road and on fire. The rider was still on the road. An officer applied a tourniquet to stop the injured motorcyclist's leg from bleeding.

The motorcyclist, only identified as a 19-year-old man, was transported by Johnson County Med-Act to the Overland Park Regional Medical Center in critical condition. His injuries included a broken leg and a partially amputated ankle.

A witness, who didn't want to be identified, tells Operation 100 News that the motorcycle was traveling eastbound on 95th Street and the SUV was southbound on Monrovia.

The witness was unsure which vehicle had the green light, but said that the motorcycle was driving fast just before the crash. He says that the motorcyclist was wearing a helmet.

The driver and passenger of the SUV did not report any injuries.

The crash was recorded by a traffic camera at the intersection.

Police directed traffic through the intersection as the crash was investigated. Eastbound 95th Street was taken down to only one through lane during that time and both directions of Monrovia, south of the intersection were closed. The intersection reopened to normal traffic just before 8:30 p.m.

No other details have been released.

It happened in The Crossing Apartments, 12300 block of West 85th Terrace around 7 p.m. Saturday.

Officers were dispatched on reports of a man who had been stabbed multiple times. The suspect, only described as an Asian woman, reportedly stabbed the man before running to a nearby apartment.

Recorded radio traffic indicates officers arrived to find the man with stab wounds outside of the building. As officers were searching for the alleged suspect, firefighters were dispatched to the same building for a possible building fire.

Master Police Officer Danny Chavez of the Lenexa Police Department confirms the incident was a domestic disturbance.

"Adult male sustained non-life threatening injuries," Chavez said in an emailed response to questions. "Female currently in custody."

Johnson County Med-Act transported a man in his early 40s to an area trauma center with serious, but non-life threatening stab wounds to his hands and one to his leg.

Firefighters from Lenexa, Overland Park, and Shawnee responded for the reported fire. Those firefighters were allowed to disregard the call shortly after they arrived on the scene.

No other details have been released.
