I work out by KCI, on NW112th Street. I live in Olathe. Therefore I travel I29 a lot.

So, last night I leave work around 11:50pm, and head south on I29.

As I approach the 152 Hiway bridge (just north of Barry Road), I notice the northbound side of I29 is lit up like a Christmas tree. Or to be more precise, lit up by the Christmas trees atop the many police and fire vehicles that are stopped over there.

I glance over (while maintaining my cruise control speed of 65mph) and see what looks like a Dodge Durango… laying on its side in the high speed left lane.

The north bound traffic just south of the accident was being diverted onto the exit for 152/Barry Rd., so they had that section completly closed down.

So… what the fuck happened?

I’ve checked every major Kansas City online news source, and there isn’t a single peep about this. I may sound sadistic, but I enjoy reading about crashes and wrecks that I pass on the highways, and this one looked like it would be a doozy.

Nothing. Nada. Zip.

I feel like I’ve been ripped off.

The only consolation I take from not being able to read the gory details is that at least I wasn’t delayed by accident. Because if I had been, I’d have been on the phone to the police for details today!
