Kansas Highway Patrol investigates fatal two-vehicle crash on I-35 in Johnson County
The Kansas Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal crash Thursday evening on Interstate 35 in Mission that sent one car into a sign pole and another tumbling off the highway, according to a preliminary crash report.
The two-vehicle wreck occurred shortly before 7 p.m. along southbound Interstate 35 just north of the Interstate 635 interchange, according to the highway patrol.
Both vehicles were headed south at the time of the crash. The driver of one car was in the left lane and lost control, veering to the right across lanes of traffic. The car struck another vehicle that was in the right lane, according to the crash report.
The collision sent both vehicles off the road, with the first one crashing into the pole for an overhead highway sign and the other rolling several times.
Further details about the crash, including information the number of people hurt and killed, were not immediately available.
