Top 10 Crash Locations: 2011 Overland Park, Kansas Accident Statistics

At Roswold Law Group, we are always looking out for ways to help Kansas City motorists avoid being in an auto injury accident.  Recently we've blogged about what they're doing in KCMO to reduce accidents at a couple of dangerous Shoal Creak intersections, which were among the top crash sites on the Missouri side.

What about the Kansas side?  If the start of 2011 is any indication, the junction of Interstate 435 and Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park, KS. is going to be a real problem this year.  According to Overland Park Police Chief John Douglass, there have already been over 740 motor vehicle accidents in OP and the Metcalf/I-435 intersection sits at the top of the list.

1. I-435/Metcalf Avenue (24 accidents)
2. I-435/Antioch Road (13)
