How did the crash happen?
Before the crash, a Kansas City police officer pulled over a blue Kia Soul for a traffic violation, KCTV reported, citing police. As the officer exited his patrol vehicle, the Kia sped off. The officer did not drive after the Kia but learned the car was stolen after running its plates, according to the TV station.
While the Kia was speeding away from the traffic stop, the vehicle approached a white Chevrolet Tahoe driving in the same direction, according to KMBC, per police. The Chevy Tahoe slowed down to make a left turn onto a northbound street when the Kia crossed into oncoming westbound traffic to pass the SUV, police said.
When the Chevy Tahoe began making the left turn, the Kia hit it, causing the SUV to spin. The Chevy driver was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The Kia hit a large utility pole and flipped onto its roof. The eight occupants in the Kia included the 16-year-old driver, the 37-year-old male front passenger who also died at the scene, the female passenger who died, a 20-year-old man, a 4-year-old, a 6-year-old, a 12-year-old and a 13-year-old, police said, per KCTV.
