Kansas City's top 20 crash sites of 2009

Last week, our Board of Police Commissioners was presented with Kansas City's 2009 traffic statistics. A particularly interesting one was the top crash locations of the year. They're spread out across the city (and remember, these are only for Kansas City, Mo., proper), but I-435 & I-70 was the clear leader. Please use extra caution when you're in one of the areas mentioned below:
