MetroRegion Kansas City Overnight News- Sunday- September 13- 2009



A
busy Saturday night led to an active Sunday morning.


During the 11 pm hour Saturday night- a male who had been shot was found sitting in his BMW at 22nd St. & The Paseo.

The man reportedly had been shot somewhere in the Jazz District around 18th Street and Vine and was trying to drive himself to a hospital..

Police didn't get any viable suspect information from the victim as the man's injuries left him in critical condition.

---
Of course- the train-pedestrian fatality accident in southwestern Cass county-MO led off the headline events during the midnight hour.

---
At 1:31 am- Lee's Summit-MO fire crews were called to Lake Jacomo- where a boat had become stranded in the middle of the lake.

That situation was resolved without incident more than an hour and a half later.

---
At 1:39 am- someone in a "red minivan" drove up on a sidewalk in the 1400 block of Kansas Avenue in KC-KS and struck a 24-year-old female.

The woman's injuries were faily minor and she was transported to a KC-MO medical trauma center.

---

KC-KS' lone medical trauma center- K.U. Med Center- remained "closed to trauma" patients for another hour as KC-KS emergency services ran a reported motorcycle crash on eastbound I-70 at about 10th Street at 1:34 am..

The 41-year-old male fortuately had a helmet on- and that device took a lot of damage as the man catapulted from his bike onto an embankment- suffering road rash and various non life-threating injuries as he was transported by EMS to a KC-MO trauma center.
---

Also in KC-KS was a shooting reported at 1:58 am at 13th Street and Yecker. Police report it was a "drive-by" from a vehicle that didn't have it's lights on- and the 23-year-old male victim was shot in both of his legs.

He was also taken to a KC-MO medical trauma center in serious condition and police had very little suspect information to investigate.
---

Just after 2 am- 2 Franklin county-KS teens suffered non life-threatening injuries in a single-vehicle rollover on Old U.S. 50 highway near Ottawa.
---

Around 2:45 am- a male in his 20's was injured in a single-vehicle crash in the 14600 block of West 311th Street in Miami county-KS..
---

At about the same time- "4 teenagers" suffered non life-threatening injuries when their car crashed at N Highway and Farley-Hampton Road northwest of Parkville in rural Platte county-MO..
---

There were at least 5 calls for EMS in KC-MO's Power & Light District early Sunday morning- mostly alcohol overdoses and other medical issues with people over-indulging.
---

The last notable but barely newsworthy incident occurred around 5:15 am on Number 1 International Circle at K.C.I. airport.

A woman lost control of her vehicle on the airport access road and ended up in one of those ponds along the road.

The woman was assisted from her vehicle by an airport police officer who said it appeared the driver had suffered a medical episode prior to driving into the pond.

She wasn't hurt badly at all and her vehicle was recoved from the 4-foot deep water.

Once again, Jackson County pays for the brutality of Wyandotte with medical care. We pay a subsidy to TMC for OUR residents, not theirs. Now all that expensive trauma care must come at the expense of medical care for our people. The Dot needs to step up. KU needs to step up.
