KANSAS CITY —One person died in an accident just before 1:30p.m. Saturday in Kansas City.
A preliminary investigation revealed a Chevrolet Trailblazer was eastbound on 47th Street near Appleton in Kansas City at a very high rate of speed, according to KCPD Sergeant Phil DiMartino.
The Chevrolet traveled off the roadway to the right through a drainage ditch and rolled.
As the SUV rolled it vaulted up and over a large dirt mound and continued rolling eastbound across Appleton and struck an unoccupied red Ford F150 that was parked in the driveway and an unoccupied residence located at 4701 Appleton.
The unrestrained driver and sole occupant of the Chevrolet was ejected from the vehicle and was pronounced deceased at the scene, according to DiMartino. The name of the driver has not been released. This is fatality #85 compared to #90 at this time last year in KCMO, according to DiMartino.
