A Kansas City crash left two people injured, one critically, and knocked out power for “several blocks,” police say.

Just before 8 p.m., police responded to East 44th Street and Prospect Avenue.

Investigators determined that a black Subaru Outback was traveling south on Prospect when it drove off the roadway and into a wooden pole, according to a statement from the Kansas City Police Department.

The vehicle knocked the pole down before flipping on its roof. The driver and a passenger were transported to the hospital.

The driver was critically injured, according to the statement.

Evergy restored power after the crash knocked it out for several blocks, police say.
