4 injured when car crashes into Missouri day care

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A car came crashing into a Kansas City day care center today when a sport utility vehicle rear-ended a parked Cadillac, injuring the SUV’s driver and three children, police said.

The Cadillac was parked and had no driver when the Range Rover rear-ended it, pushing it into the day care and trapping two children under the Cadillac. The three children were being treated for mild to moderate injuries, said Children’s Mercy spokeswoman Jessica Salazar. The SUV’s driver, meanwhile, was in stable condition at a hospital, Kansas City police Capt. Tye Grant said.

The injured children were among about 40 inside the Christian Academy Child Care east of downtown around 1 p.m. when the accident happened. Police said the SUV’s driver was “approximately 80” years old. A utility pole also was struck, Grant said.

The cause of the crash was under investigation.
