Kansas City Police Identify Woman killed in Sunday Morning Crash

The Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department has released the identity of the woman who tragically lost her life in a car crash in the early hours of Sunday morning. The incident occurred when police officers attempted to stop a silver Chevrolet Trailblazer around 12:43 a.m. near Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard at South Benton Avenue for a traffic violation.

Despite the officers’ attempts, the driver of the Chevrolet refused to yield, and the police were forced to abandon their pursuit. As the vehicle turned southbound onto Swope Parkway at a dangerously high speed, the police lost sight of it.

According to investigators, the Chevrolet veered off the roadway to the left, colliding with a large tree on Swope, just south of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The impact was severe, and the driver was rushed to a nearby hospital. Tragically, she was pronounced dead upon arrival.

The victim has been identified as Te’Onna D. Davis-Cannon, a 27-year-old woman. Unfortunately, she was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, which may have contributed to the seriousness of her injuries.

At this time, no further details are available regarding the circumstances surrounding the incident. The Kansas City Police Department continues to investigate the crash to determine the factors that led to this devastating outcome.

It is essential to emphasize the importance of wearing seatbelts while driving. Seatbelts are designed to protect occupants and can significantly reduce the risk of severe injuries or fatalities in the event of a collision. This tragic incident serves as a reminder for all motorists to prioritize their safety and the safety of others by always wearing their seatbelts.

The Kansas City Police Department urges anyone with additional information about the crash to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation. Any details, no matter how small they may seem, could prove crucial in understanding the events leading up to the crash.

As the community mourns the loss of Te’Onna D. Davis-Cannon, it is essential to reflect on the impact of reckless driving and the importance of responsible behavior on the road.
