KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City, Missouri, man has been charged in connection with a fatal pedestrian crash last summer at East 31st Street and Prospect Avenue.
Curtis A. Harper is charged with second-degree manslaughter in the June 5, 2025, crash.
The victim was crossing East 31st Street in a marked crosswalk when he was run over by a white Ford F-250. The pickup truck was pulling a trailer containing a mini excavator.
Dash camera video from inside the truck showed the pickup traveling south on Prospect Avenue before turning left and striking the pedestrian.
Additionally, the video showed the F-250 had a flashing yellow left-turn yield signal.
Harper tested positive for cannabinoids, according to toxicology results.
A Jackson County judge set his bond at $5,000.
He could face one to four years in prison if found guilty.
