One person died and two people were injured Tuesday afternoon in a multi-vehicle wreck on an Overland Park off-ramp.

The fatal crash took place around 3:25 p.m. in the eastbound lanes of U.S. 435 near U.S. 69, according to Capt. Steven Edwards, an Overland Park Police Department spokesperson. The cars piled up on an off-ramp leading toward Antioch, disrupting rush-hour traffic coming in and out of Overland Park.

Emergency medical responders declared one of the riders involved in the accident deceased at the scene. The two injured riders were transported to a local hospital, one with critical injuries and one with minor injuries.

The deceased person has not been publicly identified. Police have not yet determined what led to the crash, according to Edwards.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order promising to eliminate what he incorrectly labels “the electric vehicle mandate” imposed under former President Joe Biden. His order on Monday is consistent with pledges Trump made on the campaign trail to end what he calls a “preposterous” focus on EVs by Biden and other Democrats. The order, along with other steps expected in a second Trump administration, could slow U.S. efforts to address climate change, much of which is caus

Stellantis will move forward on plan to build new midsize truck in Illinois
Chrysler parent Stellantis is moving forward with plans to build a new midsize pickup truck in Belvidere, Illinois, the company said on Wednesday, ending months of conflict with the United Auto Workers union over delays, and strengthening its U.S. production footprint as President Donald Trump takes office. Stellantis in 2023 agreed to build a new $3.2 billion battery plant and invest $1.5 billion in Belvidere to build new midsize trucks by 2027, but delayed the plans in August. The Italian-American automaker told employees that it would stick with these investment plans on Wednesday in a memo seen by Reuters.
