Suspect Driving Stolen Car Apprehended After Causing 4-Car Injury Crash and Leaving Scene
On this date, at approximately 8:05 a.m., Overland Park Police Officers responded to an injury accident in the intersection of
W. 123 and Metcalf Avenue. The driver of a blue Ford Focus was heading east on W. 123 and ran a red light striking the side
of a vehicle going north on Metcalf. The struck two other vehicles before coming to a stop in the intersection.
The driver of the Ford Focus fled the accident and entered a nearby apartment through an unlocked front door. The female
resident found him hiding in a back bedroom. The suspect then left the apartment and was located on foot in a nearby business
complex. The resident was not harmed.
Leawood Police originally had contact with the vehicle in their city after a citizen called in a suspected intoxicated driver. The
vehicle initially fled from Leawood officers. Several minutes later, a Leawood officer spotted the car in Overland Park and
notified Overland Park dispatch of the suspicious vehicle
At some point the driver entered the lot of our Sanders police station and quickly turned around and left the parking lot. A
Leawood officer was in the area, but never activated his emergency lights or engaged in any type of pursuit of the suspect
vehicle.
The Ford Focus was reported stolen out of Kansas City, Missouri, but that wasn't known until after the collision.
The Overland Park Police Traffic Safety Unit continues to investigate this accident.
The driver of the other vehicle was transported to an area hospital in critical condition. Another driver was transported with
serious injuries.
