KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Missouri Department of Transportation truck was involved in a crash with a driver on Thursday afternoon, the agency said.
The crash occurred on northbound Interstate 49 at Interstate 470 in south Kansas City, Missouri.
A spokesman for MoDOT said the driver hit the back wheel of the MoDOT equipment. A crew member was on the equipment but was not hit or injured.
