KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 17-year old teen driver died after being involved in a three-vehicle crash Wednesday night in Clay County.
The victim was identified as 17-year-old Jacob Anthony Robert Craig of Holt, Mo.
The crash happened shortly after 7:15 p.m. on Missouri A near Northeast 112th Street, about a mile north of the Liberty North High School campus.
According to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, the Craig's Chevrolet Impala lost control and sideswiped a Ford F-150 before crashing head-on into a Dodge Ram pickup truck.
Craig died at the scene, while the adult and two children in the Ram were transported to a local hospital with “moderate injuries,” according to the sheriff’s office.
The F-150 driver was not injured, and all involved parties were wearing seat belts.
A smart watch worn by the driver of the Ram initially notified authorities of the crash with a call to 911, according to the sheriff’s office.
