Prairie Village Police were called to the 7700 block of Roe Avenue, near Briar Drive, shortly before 4:30 Tuesday morning.

Officers arrived to find a tractor trailer crashed, on its side, in the roadway. The driver of the truck was pinned inside.

Crews from Consolidated Fire District No. 2 and Johnson County Med-Act extricated the man and rushed him to a Kansas City, MO trauma center in critical condition.

Sources tell Operation 100 News that police are investigating the possibility that the man suffered a seizure, causing the accident. There were also reports of a possible domestic issue, involving the driver's daughter. The daughter was apparently dropped off by her father before the accident. She is currently with police and said to be unharmed.

The truck was loaded with beer, some of which broke through the trailer's roof and spilled onto the roadway.

Prairie Village Police are investigating what caused a single vehicle accident this morning.

Police and fire crews were called to the 6700 block of Roe Avenue around 2:10 a.m.. Mission Police had been checking the area following reports of a suspicious vehicle in their city and were first to arrive at the crash scene. Officers reported that the driver appeared to be unresponsive.

Johnson County Med-Act and Consolidated Fire District No. 2 arrived on the scene to report the accident involved one vehicle which was heavily damaged in a front yard. Crews pronounced the male driver dead at the scene a short time later.
