VIDEO SHOWS FINAL SECONDS BEFORE KANSAS CITY, MO APPARATUS CRASH

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Video recordings obtained by KSHB 41 News through an open-records request show the final seconds leading up to a deadly crash last December involving a Kansas City, Missouri, fire truck at the Westport intersection of Westport Road and Broadway Boulevard.

The Dec. 15 crash involved a fire truck, an SUV, several parked cars and two pedestrians.

KSHB 41 has chosen not to show the moment of impact out of respect to the victims’ families.

Some might find the video disturbing.

The videos show four different perspectives of the intersection, Westport and Broadway, the night of December 15.

The videos will be at the heart of the lawsuits and investigation related to the crash.
