BREAKING THANKSGIVING NEWS: Crashes and An Assault Already



H
olidays traditionally are slow news days- but things locally are already heating up.


There's been a couple of wrecks reported in the MetroRegion during the past half-hour:



At 10:13 am- one crash is reported near Holt-MO on northbound I-35 near the 29-mile marker.

No word yet on number of vehicles involved or injuries.


At 10:28 am- another wreck on I-70 east of Odessa in Lafayette county- on I-70 in the median around the 43.4 mile marker- east of the Mayview exit.

This crash reported as a "1-vehicle with 2 (unknown-severity) injuries.


The assault was reported around the same time in the Smithville-MO area- reported to be between "a father and son."


The outlying areas are more active than the Metro right now- let's hope all eases off and all can enjoy a Happy Thanksgiving.

We'll be back later to keep track of the Plaza lighting crowds and other goings-on.
