KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Northbound 71 Highway at 75th Street and Northbound 71 Highway at Blue River Road is closed due to a crash involving a semi and a second vehicle.
Kansas City Police say the crash happened about 4:10 a.m. and that a semi is on its side.
The semi was headed northbound when it ended up on its side in the median, but the trailer is near the southbound lanes, so both directions of 71 highway were shut down, but the southbound lanes were back open at 6:30 a.m..
Police aren't sure what led up to the crash.
Only minor injuries were reported.
The semi was fully loaded, so it might take several hours to clean up the crash and open the highway.
Tow trucks have been ordered.
