Three juveniles and one adult were injured in a hit-and-run in Kansas City late Saturday, according to police.
Police were called around 6:30 p.m. to the area of 43rd Street and Euclid Avenue to a reported hit-and-run, according to Kansas City police spokesperson Sgt. Philip DiMartino.
A white Toyota Prius was traveling eastbound on 43rd Street when the driver tried to make a left turn onto Euclid Avenue. A white Ford Edge sped up behind the Prius, crossed the double yellow line into the westbound lane to pass, but was unsuccessful.
The Ford struck with the Toyota, drove off the road, hit a wooden light pole and a metal highway sign, and overturned, DiMartino said in a news release. Those inside were picked up by a third party and drove away.
First responders were then called to a nearby residence off of Agnes Avenue, where the juveniles and the driver were transported to a local hospital. The driver sustained critical injuries and the juveniles suffered non life-threatening injuries, according to DiMartino. Everyone is in stable condition. The driver of the Toyota was uninjured.
Police are looking into the suspected impairment of the Ford Driver. The investigation is ongoing.
