The driver of the Buick was pronounced dead at the scene by Kansas City Fire Department medical personnel. Three passengers in the Buick were taken to hospitals with injuries that were not life threatening.
The driver of the Hyundai and a passenger were not injured. The condition of the driver of the pickup was not available.
