Holy ****.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — A significant injury accident has closed lanes on eastbound I-435 and portions of westbound I-435 west of Antioch. Kansas Highway Patrol says, at this time, they believe there are two semis and two passenger vehicles involved.

Johnson County MedAct reports that there is one person injured critically and another with a minor injury.

The Overland Park Fire Department says that this will create traffic stand stills and drivers needs to find other routes. The fire department says the lane closures will linger for hours.


A witness FOX 4 spoke with said he was driving by on the other side of the highway when he saw the crash.
