Victims and emergency response

According to the Kansas City Fire Department, a five-vehicle crash on northbound 71 Highway has led to two people being hospitalized.

It’s unclear what ages the injured are or what their conditions are at this time, KCFD said.

The crash comes three days after a truck driver killed three people and injured seven others in a crash at nearly the same place on 71 Highway.

That crash led to three felony involuntary manslaughter charges against 39-year-old Eldar Skander.
