Authorities identify two men killed in Platte County crash

Two Kansas City residents who died in a Platte County collision have been identified.

Joshua Lindsay was driving and Andrew E. Davidson was a passenger in a car that investigators said was passing other cars on Missouri 45 just north of Iatan, Mo. when they crashed Saturday. Both men were 23.

Investigators say Lindsay was driving northbound in a 2004 silver Mercury Grand Marquis near the intersection of Westside Drive. The car had crossed over into the southbound lanes to pass vehicles when it collided with a southbound 2007 gold Toyota RAV 4.

The driver of the RAV 4, an 18-year-old Atchison woman, suffered non-life-threatening injuries. A third vehicle was also hit during the collision, but no one in that vehicle was injured.

Investigators said alcohol may have played a role in the crash. The investigation is ongoing.
