Teenage drivers in Kansas City are far more prone to serious injury in case of a car accident because of a lack of experience.  The fact that this accident happened late at night also plays a part.  While there is no official information to link to this incident, drowsy driving or even alcohol and illegal drugs often play a role in late night fatal car crashes.
