Around 3:20 a.m., a Nissan Altima was reported heading southbound in the northbound lanes of Interstate 29. Minutes later, the wrong-way driver hit a Toyota Camry before crashing head-on into a Nissan Sentra near I-29 and 64th.
The driver of the Sentra was taken to an area hospital with serious injuries. The wrong-way driver, identified as a 21 year-old Kansas City man was pronounced dead at the scene. The interstate was closed for three hours.
A total of five vehicles were involved in this fatal wrong-way incident. Three cars were involved in the fatal crash, then another driver slowing down to look at the crash was rear-ended. No additional injuries were reported. Authorities are trying to determine if the wrong-way driver was impaired.
