On Monday at 11:17 a.m., a collision involving a Kansas City Police Department vehicle occurred at the intersection of Bannister Road and Blue Ridge Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri. A marked police vehicle, a Ford Explorer, was traveling east with its emergency lights and sirens activated when a black Chevrolet Traverse failed to yield and struck the police vehicle on its passenger side. The impact caused the police car to roll over and collide with several other vehicles stopped at the intersection. Three individuals, including the police officer and two occupants of the Chevrolet, sustained what appeared to be minor injuries and were transported to local hospitals. Kansas City Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Phil DiMartino emphasized that while Missouri law requires motorists to yield to emergency vehicles, officers must not assume that drivers will do so until they actually yield.
