Dead Cyclist Identified - Other STAR News Days Later- And The Weather Right Now

Three days after this accident took place- this morning's KANSAS CITY STAR reports the cyclist killed Saturday morning on Parallel & College Parkways in KC-KS- reported HERE first- was 46-year-old Terry R. Gaggins of KC-KS.. Besides reporting the time and place this crash happened- THE STAR reports "no further details" although a female passenger on Gaggins' bike was critically hurt (no mention of THAT at all).

Also referring to the OVERNIGHT REPORT from last Saturday morning- the "48-year-old" driver of the vehicle in the 2nd accident reported HERE that morning- at Forest and Kansas Streets in Liberty-MO- has died. That driver's name was Arthur R. Hall of Drumwright-OK reports the STAR.
Hall reportedly had struck the concrete base of a traffic signal at that intersection.
---
THE STAR also ran another story- no address- this just apparently happened SOMEWHERE in the 318-square miles of Kansas City-MO- at "10:15pm Sunday night" (2 days ago- no news like old news): 28-year-old Jose Sanchez died "of asphyxiation" after the Chevrolet Suburban land yacht he was working underneath fell on him- then rolled down the driveway with Mr. Sanchez still under it and struck a tree.

I'm watching a fairly small but intense cluster of thunderstorms this morning in southeastern Nebraska and northeastern Kansas- moving eastward (not toward KC) toward northwestern Missouri north of St. Joseph- just beyond the MetroRegion.

I'm hoping for some sort of outflow boundary that may fire some storms later close to the K.C. Metro.

The NWS-SPC in Norman has parts of northern and central Nebraska outlooked for a "slight risk" of severe thunderstorms later today and tonight. Some portions of south-central Nebraska have also received torrential rains this morning ... everywhere it seems but HERE- for our tomato plants!
