Avoid Kansas City Traffic Jam Injury Accidents by Keeping Focused and Driving Patiently

Traffic accidents can be a major pain, especially if you're already running late.  We've seen a few accidents on Kansas City Highways recently that have led to some pretty major traffic conditions.  We've also noticed recently a number of accidents that have happened within the traffic congestion.  Usually these accidents are caused by distracted, inattentive and most of all-- impatient driving.

Two injury accidents happened within an hour of each other on U.S. 69 Highway in Overland Park and forced a shut down of the highway that lasted a couple of hours. According to the Overland Park Police Department, the first auto injury accident happened around 8:12 p.m. when two vehicles collided on northbound 69 Highway at Blue Valley Parkway. The second accident happened as traffic was being diverted for the first crash, around 9:30 p.m. at 69 Highway northbound at 135th Street.

In the second accident, a pickup truck was attempting to avoid hitting a stopped vehicle when it rear ended by a second police truck.  Between both accidents there were eight overall injuries. All were hospitalized but none are expected to be life threatening.
