Three injured, including two Kansas City police officers, in car crash Friday near I-70
Three people, including two police officers, were sent to the hospital Friday after a minivan struck a Kansas City police car at Interstate 70 and Prospect Ave.
The vehicle was heading south on Prospect Avenue when it attempted to cross through a red light with its lights and sirens on, according to Capt. Leslie Foreman, a spokeswoman with the Kansas City Police Department. A Chrysler Town and Country was heading east and went through a green light, hitting the side of the police car.
The two officers and the driver of the Chrysler were taken to the hospital, but their injuries are not life-threatening, Foreman said.
