KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Police responded to a crash on southbound Highway 71 just before Bannister Road on Oct. 27 at 4:36 a.m.

The crash that resulted in injuries involved two Kansas City Police Department vehicles. Investigation shows that police were originally dispatched to another collision at the same location.

When police arrived, they found a black Dodge Charger abandoned and vandalized, and a City Tow was ordered for the vehicle.
