One person has minor injuries following a crash on Interstate 435 in Leawood on Monday evening.
Leawood firefighters and Johnson County Med-Act paramedics were called to meet Leawood police in the eastbound lanes of I-435 west of State Line Road at about 4:40 p.m.
Recorded radio traffic indicates that traffic slowed, and one driver rear-ended another.
The driver of the striking vehicle requested an ambulance and was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
No other injuries were reported.
The crash, in the left lane of the Interstate, caused a traffic backup that reached U.S. 69 Highway, more than four miles away.
All lanes reopened just after 5:30 p.m. when a tow truck removed one of the crashed cars.
No other details were immediately available.
