Kansas City’s 20 most dangerous streets for car crashes

By Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys | October 22, 2021
Interstate 435 may be the dangerous highway to drive in Kansas City, Missouri. In fact, according to a recently released list, more crashes occurred on I-435 at I-70 than any other site in the city. There were 107 crashes at this location in 2009. Eight of the top 20 crash sites in the city were located on I-435.
The list, which is posted on the blog of Kansas City Police Chief Jim Corwin, lists the top twenty crash sites in the city.  The sites are located throughout the city, but only include those within Kansas City, Mo city limits.
Police hope that posting the list will make the public more aware of dangers and help prevent future accidents. They suggest that people slow down, obey traffic laws, and be a little more careful in these areas.
