Three people were critically injured in a three-car pileup Wednesday in Kansas City after a Jeep Wrangler lost a tire in the middle of the road.

The Jeep was driving west on 23th Street when its back left tire and rim fell off, sending the Jeep off course, according to Capt. Jacob Becchina, a Kansas City Police Department spokesperson.

The Jeep swerved across the double yellow lines dividing traffic, Becchina said, hitting a Subaru Forrester and a Nissan Vera driving east. Two of the passengers in the Nissan, along with its driver, were critically injured in the crash.

The drivers of the Jeep and Subaru were not harmed.

The three injured crash victims are currently in stable condition at a local hospital as Kansas City police investigate the scene.

Divers find remains of Finnish WWII plane that was shot down by Moscow with a US diplomat aboard
The World War II mystery of what happened to a Finnish passenger plane after it was shot down over the Baltic Sea by Soviet bombers appears to finally be solved more than eight decades later. The plane was carrying American and French diplomatic couriers in June 1940 when it was downed just days before Moscow annexed the Baltic states. All nine people on board the plane were killed, including the two-member Finnish crew and the seven passengers — an American diplomat, two French, two Germans, a Swede and a dual Estonian-Finnish national.
