KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A driver was injured after ramming into a Kansas City Parks and Recreation dump truck at Blue Valley Park on Monday.

The crash happened about 11:41 a.m. at the park located at 2301 Topping Avenue.

An initial investigation revealed the dump truck, which had a "low boy trailer" attached to it, was parked alongside a road inside the park.

A tan Fiat 500 was later traveling at a high rate of speed inside the park when it drove on to the trailer.

The driver later hit the back of the dump truck before going off the side of the trailer and overturning.

Police say the driver of the Fiat was transported to an area hospital in critical condition.

No one was injured in dump truck and trailer as they unoccupied.
