KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Tuesday morning traffic crash killed a 29-year-old Overland Park man.

The Kansas Highway Patrol crash reports states Robert C. Lucas was traveling north at 9 a.m. on Interstate 435 at Holliday Drive in Shawnee.

The 2006 Acura that Lucas was driving went off the highway and struck a light pole.

Lucas was alone in the car.

The report states he was wearing his seat belt.

It was raining at the time, but it's not clear if that had anything to do with the crash.
