Kansas City, MO (August 27, 2023) – Two victims were left injured following a crash in Jackson County on Sunday morning, August 27.
Just before 1:30 a.m., a 2012 Ford Fusion was traveling on the west side of Highway 70 when the driver decided to change lanes near 435. After entering the second lane, the vehicle collided with a 2008 Acura TL. The Acura was totaled as a result of the crash.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol responded to the scene and secured the roadway.
Two people were injured in the crash. A 17-year-old female and 19-year-old Mallory Rodriguez, both of Kansas City, Kansas, were transported to Centerpoint Hospital for emergency care.
At this time, the crash is being investigated.
We hope Mallory Rodriguez and the second victim injured in this crash recover quickly.

Trying to overcome painful physical and emotional injuries while being unable to work and earn an income can be incredibly difficult.
