Dump Truck Wreck on I-35 in Kansas City Injures Four

Emergency crews have shut down all southbound lanes of I-35 just north of Chouteau Trafficway following a multi-vehicle accident that resulted in asphalt being scattered across the interstate. According to Kansas City fire officials, one of the vehicles involved in the collision was a dump truck carrying asphalt, which overturned and spilled its contents onto all southbound lanes.

As a result of this incident, emergency crews anticipate that southbound I-35 will remain closed for an extended period while they work diligently to clean up the asphalt spill. Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes until further notice.

In addition to the road closure, four individuals sustained minor injuries and were transported to nearby hospitals for medical attention. The exact circumstances leading up to the wreck are currently under investigation.

This unfortunate event serves as a reminder for drivers to exercise caution on the roads at all times and adhere to traffic regulations. Authorities urge everyone traveling through this area or planning their commute accordingly to stay updated with official announcements regarding lane reopenings and any potential detours.
