KANSAS CITY, Kan. (KCTV) – A 9-year-old child was among three people injured after an overnight collision along I-70 in Kansas City.

The Kansas Highway Patrol indicates that on Friday, Nov. 1, just after 10 p.m., emergency crews were called to the area of ​​westbound I-70 and 18th St. with reports of a collision between two vehicles.

When first responders arrived, they said they found Darius Anderson, 22, of Kansas City, driving his 2013 Dodge Avenger west in the first lane. Meanwhile, Deondre Thompson, 32, also of Kansas City, was driving his 2014 Ford Edge westbound alongside Anderson in the second lane.

State troopers said Anderson attempted to change lanes in the middle lane, where he struck the side of Thompson’s Ford. The impact caused the Edge to veer off the road to the left, where it struck a barrier and overturned.
