Overland Park mayor involved in crash after suspected ‘medical event,’ city says

Overland Park Mayor Curt Skoog was involved in a single-vehicle crash over the weekend and was recovering in an area hospital, a city spokesperson said.

In an email Sunday evening, Meg Ralph, with the city, attributed the Saturday crash in Kansas City, Kansas, to what was believed to be a “medical event” and said no one else was involved or injured.

“Mayor Skoog is doing well, recovering in a local hospital, and has a path forward working with his medical providers,” she wrote.

“He is expected to make a full recovery,” she said.

Skoog is a longtime city official, having been first elected to the Overland Park City Council in 2005 before he was elected mayor in 2021.
