Driver killed after being ejected in high-speed rollover crash on Kansas City highway
A driver died after he was ejected from his vehicle during a high-speed rollover crash Thursday night on a Kansas City highway, police said in a news release.
The crash occurred about 10:25 p.m. along northbound Interstate 435 near Interstate 70, said Officer Donna Drake, a spokeswoman for the Kansas City Police Department.
The driver was headed north in a gold Nissan at high speed when he lost control and went off the road to the right, Drake said.
The vehicle flipped several times as it went down into a ravine, ejecting the driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, she said.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene of the wreck. The crash victim’s name and age have not been released.
