21-year-old man killed after SUV goes off the road, overturns in the Northland

Kansas City police said a 21-year-old man died Friday evening in a wreck near a ramp from Interstate 435 to Missouri 152 in the Northland.

The crash was reported around 5:30 p.m.

Police said it appeared a white Ford Escape was heading west in the 6600 block of N.E. Barry Road when it missed a curve. The SUV went off the roadway, crossed the ramp from westbound Missouri 152 to northbound I-435 and overturned, coming to a rest on the ramp from northbound I-435 to Missouri 152 West.

The driver, who was the only person in the vehicle, was killed in the crash, police said. He was identified Saturday as Kansas City resident Braylin G. Russell.

Both ramps were closed for a short period of time while police investigated.
