It’s unclear if anyone was injured.
Kansas City police said they received a call in regard to the crash just before 5:30 p.m.
The incident happened in the westbound lanes of I-435 before the 103rd Street exit.
Four lanes of the interstate were closed Friday evening as inspectors worked at the scene.
