Multiple Injuries In Kansas City Gas Fire

KANSAS CITY, MO. A car crashed into a gas main Tuesday evening in an upscale Kansas City shopping district, sparking a massive blaze that engulfed an entire block and caused multiple injuries, police said.

Seven or eight people were injured and taken to area hospitals, police Sgt. Tony Sanders said Tuesday, who added that there were no reports of fatalities. Sanders said the manager of JJ's restaurant, which was destroyed in the blaze, was unable to account for three people, but it was unclear whether they were caught in the blaze or had left earlier.

Earlier police spokeswoman Rhonda Flores said it appeared that a car crashed into a gas main near JJ's just after 6 p.m. Flores said an initial call for three ambulances had been increased to 10. She said she had not heard of any reported fatalities. Flores said the car crash appeared to have been accidental.

  1. Engulfed an entire block my ass. The block in question has roughly the same number acres as the PMRC property. There is an ally that bisects the block north south. East of the ally there are 4 apartment buildings 8 or more stories high, west of the ally there are low rise commercial buildings. The fire was confined to single story store fronts on the south side of the block west of the ally.

    I use to live 4 blocks away from where this fire happened
