At 1:32 am this Sunday morning- KC-MO Center Zone officers told their dispatcher of "a large explosion" in the area of Linwood and Gillham in Midtown.
Within seconds- the officers found the source of that "explosion." A vehicle had sheared off a light pole with the broken pole coming to rest on top of the car on Gillham just south of Linwood.
The fire department arrived- and began an about 15 minute extrication of the male driver from the wreckage.
The driver was then transported by MAST-EMS to a nearby medical trauma center with what appeared to be only marginally life-threatening injuries (his condition nowhere near as bad as the hapless motorcyclist on I-435 in the prior CSW story).
Police discovered the cause of this wreck was that the driver had been racing at least one other vehicle- who left the scene.
