KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One person is dead after a one-vehicle crash last week in Kansas City, Missouri.

The person was pronounced dead on Sunday at Overland Park Regional Medical Center due to the injuries sustained in the crash.

On Friday, a white Ford Fusion was traveling south on Blue River Road at a “high rate of speed,” according to police. The vehicle left the roadway, crashing into a tree. Police said the driver, and sole occupant, sustained life-threatening injuries and was taken to an area hospital.

The driver has been identified as 46-year-old David J. Hovious of Lee's Summit, Missouri.

Weather was not a factor in the crash.
