The Cass County Sheriff’s Office is looking for any information about a hit-and-run accident that happened this morning on northbound I-49.
They are looking for the driver of a Chevy Blazer that was involved in the accident. The vehicle is registered to a Blue Springs resident.
This morning around 4:45 a.m. deputies responded to an area near 307th St. going Northbound on I-49 near Archie regarding a two-vehicle accident.
They made contact with a driver who said he was rear-ended by someone. The driver who deputies made contact with said he drove approximately a quarter mile further to get to a safer location following the incident — so he never saw the person who was driving the other vehicle.
The vehicle the other person was driving has since been identified as a tan 2002 Chevy Blazer.
When deputies located the Chevy Blazer, it was unoccupied and parked on the shoulder of the highway near the crash site. Deputies then surveyed the area, looking for the driver of the vehicle. They were unable to locate the person. An Everbridge call was sent to the surrounding area to notify residents.
The Chevy Blazer has since been towed. The Sheriff’s Office is seeking the driver of this vehicle to know their well-being since they were involved in the incident. This vehicle is registered to a man from Blue Springs.
Anyone who saw the incident or anyone who may have information about this vehicle is asked to call the Cass County Sheriff’s Office at (816) 380-5200.
