Kansas City homeowner sees cars slide off of Interstate 35; wants MoDOT to add guard rail
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Interstate 35 rolls on by in front of Lucas Orozco’s home in Kansas City, Missouri, but he says snowy tire tracks on the hillside aren’t supposed to.
“I mean, look at these tire tracks; they would have come down further if that cement sewer block wasn’t in the way,” he said.

Orozco said this week, two cars in one day slid off of the highway into the hill, but it came a little too close for his comfort.

A video from his ring camera shows a truck sliding down the hill aiming straight for Orozco’s home.
“To see the truck coming down, and sliding down and spinning, it’s a little scary,” he said.
Orozco said it’s happened in previous years too, and provided photos of trucks in the front of his yard.
“Regardless, there is no guard rail,” he said.
That’s what he wants to see — the Missouri Department of Transportation adding a guard rail to the interstate hill that’s right in front of his home.
“First thing people say when I show these pictures is, ‘Where is the guardrail?’ I don’t know. Your guess is as good as mine,” he said.
The drive on I-35 near his home shows a gap in the railing just a few hundred feet right from his block.
“I don’t care how this slope was designed or whatever, but I was told stuff rolls downhill,” he said. “One day, instead of a car or a truck, it’ll be a semi rolling downhill into my house, and if my kids are playing outside like kids should be able to do on snow days, they will have to run for their lives.”
KSHB 41 reached out to MoDOT about adding a guardrail, what it takes, and if it could be done.
MoDOT wasn’t able give an answer, but said the local engineer is in touch with Orozco.
“I’m going to keep fighting for it; I know my neighbors want it too,” he said. “I plan on being here my whole life; I don’t want to have to worry about my kids.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An Overland Park man was killed in a two-vehicle crash in Riley County, Kansas, on Tuesday
The Kansas Highway Patrol says just after 11 a.m., Tuesday, the driver of a 2005 Ford Super Duty truck was traveling northbound on Kansas Highway 177 about a mile south of Deep Creek Road south of Manhattan when it struck the rear end of a 2012 Hyundai Accent.
The force of the collision sent the Hyundai into a ditch off the roadway. The Ford wound up on the shoulder of the highway.
The driver of the Hyundai, later identified as James E. Echols, 54, of Overland Park, died from injuries sustained in the crash.
A 52-year-old female passenger in the Hyundai was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries.
The driver of the Ford, a 17-year-old female, was not significantly injured.
