KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two teens were injured in a single vehicle crash on east 27th Street and Agnes late Saturday night.

According to the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department, a blue Chevy Cobalt with five teenagers was traveling east on 27th street at a high rate of speed around 11 p.m.

The 19 year-old driver lost control, causing him to drive off the road. He later hit a building on the northwest corner of the intersection, sheared off a fire hydrant and then went up a hill of a front yard and through a chain link fence.

A sixteen year old female sitting behind the driver was not wearing a seat belt and was partially ejected.

She suffered serious injuries.

A second 17 year-old female suffered lacerations and contusions to her face. She was transported to an area hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

The driver and three other teens refused medical treatment.

Dangerous buildings responded and contacted the building owner for clean-up of the demolished building.
