Fatality on I-435 before Chiefs Game
I heard Andy mention this in his press conference but hadn't seen any news about it. Apparently the wreck was caused by a cop. Man, and I'm sure the backup trying to get into the stadium from Johnson County was a mess. Story is here:
https://www.kansascity.com/news/loca...220422195.html KCPD spokesman Capt. Lionel Colón describes a fatal crash involving a police vehicle on Interstate 435 ahead of Sunday night's Chiefs football game. One person died. Two were critically injured. The officer suffered non-life-threatening injuries. By Joe Robertson A fatal crash that blocked Chiefs game traffic on Interstate 435 Sunday afternoon started when an off-duty Kansas City police officer in a department van rear-ended another vehicle, police said. “This is a tough one,” Kansas City police Capt. Lionel Colón said Sunday night, as he spoke about the multi-vehicle crash that left one person dead, two critically injured and the officer hospitalized with injuries that were not thought to be life-threatening. “We hurt with you,” he said, speaking to families of the victims of the crash. The crash happened shortly after 4 p.m. in the northbound lanes of I-435 just south of Stadium Drive. Colón said the police van rear-ended a vehicle and then two other vehicles were also involved in the crash. Traffic was quickly reduced to one lane, and then was completely shut down by 5 p.m. Traffic backed up for some three miles as Kansas City police crash specialists investigated the scene. Colón said Kansas City Police Chief Rick Smith “is shaken” to hear that an officer has been involved in a fatal crash. “We all are,” Colón said. Late Sunday night, police released more details of the crash. The police van, a blue Ford E350, came upon slow traffic that was lining up on the way to Arrowhead Stadium. The van ran into the rear of a Maroon Mitsubishi Lancer, knocking it into a white Ford Edge, which was forced into a black Chevy Suburban. The police van hit both the Mitsubishi and the Ford Edge before coming to rest to the north of all three other vehicles in the crash. The driver of the Mitsubishi was pronounced dead at the scene. Two passengers in the front and rear of the car were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. No one in the Ford Edge or the Suburban were seriously injured. The name of the person killed in the crash had not yet been released Sunday night. There was no indication in the preliminary investigation of the scene that any of the drivers in the crash were impaired. The off-duty officer was on the way to Arrowhead Stadium, Colón said, but it was not known if he was going to work at the game or going as a spectator. Many police staff are on-call and will use police vehicles while off-duty so that they can quickly respond if they are called into action, he said. The highway remained shut down for most of three hours leading up to the game, which kicked off at 7:20 p.m. at Arrowhead. |

Whoa whoa whoa, can't just strip a man of his livelihood because he killed somebody. I mean, we're talking about one of the good guys here.

I wonder how many truck drivers could kill a guy and keep their job.

Looks like an involuntary manslaughter charge for the officer.

Nice to see there is some justice.

Not really justice without the conviction. I'll hold my breath that this guy gets convicted.

The real story here has nothing to do with his profession. It's that you mother****ers who can't put your goddamn phones down while you're driving are a danger to everyone else on the road.

Justice is facing potential consequence subject to a full and fair hearing before a jury of peers. If, along the line we as observers see evidence that this ideal isn't being met, we can and should make out criticisms known, but to have an outcome-based metric beforehand is actually counter to our notions of justice in fundamental ways.

I stream music and podcasts, and I even listen to documentaries , but the phone stays in the console.
If I were to get into an accident, would it show my phone as active even though it's not even in sight? |

You think they'd be able to tell what it was doing. But admittedly I have no clue
