There's a reported multiple-vehicle and serious-injury crash on U.S. 169/Arrowhead Trafficway north of Northwest Englewood Road in the Northland.
MAST-EMS reports at least 2 critical injuries and one lesser-serious injury.
There is also one fatality reported. KC-MO Police report Friday morning that victim was "51-year-old Teresa Lizar from Smithville MO.."
MAST-EMS reports 7 vehicles involved and it was a crossover wreck- a truck was the vehicle that crossed the median.
A "21-year-old male who was ejected from the pickup truck he was driving" was taken to a Metro medical trauma center in serious to critical condition.
This was the driver of the truck that crossed the median from the southbound lanes into the northbound lanes of U.S. 169.
An "approximately 30-year-old female" driver of a car hit by the crossed-over truck was reported to have non life-threatening injuries.
The female driver of another car struck by the pickup reportedly is the fatality.
U.S. 169 was closed both directions north of N.W. Englewood/I-29 for at least 2-3 hours after the crash.
This is the second cross-over crash on Metro freeways during the evening drive-time this week.
Reported first in Kansas City here at CSW on Tuesday afternoon- at least 5 vehicles were involved in a crash on U.S. 71 in Belton when an 18-wheeler came upon slower traffic and could not stop.
A woman driving a car the semi struck was critically-injured and 3 other drivers suffered lesser-serious injuries.
