Passenger dies after car was rear-ended in Lenexa Saturday, drivers taken to hospital

One person died and two were taken to the hospital after a crash in Lenexa Saturday.

Officers were called to the 15200 block of College Boulevard around 5:30 p.m. where they found a Subaru WRX and a Nissan Altima. Both vehicles were operated by men who were taken to the hospital, according to Danny Chavez, spokesperson for the Lenexa Police Department. A woman who was a passenger in the Nissan died at the scene.

Police say preliminary findings indicate that both vehicles were traveling east on College Boulevard when the Subaru rear-ended the Nissan, causing both cars to leave the roadway, according to Chavez.

The driver of the Subaru was discharged from the hospital Saturday night and taken into custody on suspicion of driving under the influence.

The case is still under investigation.
