Lawrence man, 26, sent to Kansas City hospital after crashing into a parked car, police say

Though the crash reports are not yet complete, police were able to offer a few new details about an early morning crash that sent a Lawrence man to the hospital.

Around 1 a.m. on Monday a 26-year-old Lawrence man, driving a Honda Civic west along the 700 block of West 25th Street, drifted north and hit a parked Ford Explorer, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads. The Ford was legally parked along the street’s north curb, facing west.

The Lawrence man was transported by helicopter to a Kansas City-area hospital, Rhoads said.

The Journal-World previously reported that emergency responder radio traffic indicated the man was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash and may have hit his head on the windshield.

Additional details were not immediately available.
