Blue Springs, MO (September 25, 2024) - One person lost their life as a result of a fatal accident that occurred in Jackson County on Saturday, September 21. Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers were called to the scene at around 8:45 p.m. on September 21.
Reports from MS HP indicate that a 1995 Toyota Tacoma collided with a 2019 Lexus while traveling on the westbound side of Interstate 70. The impact of the crash caused the Toyota to overturn near mile marker 18.2. All of the occupants were ejected from the vehicle. A 15-year-old male was pronounced deceased at the scene as a result of his injuries. Two additional victims, a 17-year-old male, and 19-year-old Kevin Pacheco, were both transported to Centerpoint Medical Center for emergency treatment of serious injuries. At this time, the incident is under investigation.
We hope Kevin Pacheco and the teen injured in this crash recover quickly.
Our condolences go out to the family of the victim killed in this accident.
