KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Police Department reported a one-car crash that left one person dead on Saturday morning.

Police said a Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper was traveling east on Interstate 470 when he encountered the crash and notified dispatch.

According to officers, a white GMC Yukon was speeding eastbound on Interstate 470 when the driver took the Blue Ridge Boulevard exit but was going too fast and missed the ramp.

The GMC traveled off the roadway and struck an attenuator — also known as crash cushions or barriers — and a guard rail, KCPD said.

After striking the barrier and the rail, the GMC flipped multiple times causing the driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, to be ejected from the vehicle. Police pronounced them dead at the scene.

The identity of the driver is still unknown. However, FOX4 will provide the latest updates to this story as soon as more information comes in.
