Car crashes into roof of veterans hall in Missouri — again
A car has crashed through the roof of a Missouri veterans hall for the second time in three months. Video shows a car careening off a nearby road and crashing into the Clay-Ray Veterans Memorial Hall in Excelsior Springs. The vehicle collides with the roof of the building and sends debris flying. Pieces of the vehicle hit a flagpole in the hall's front yard. The driver of the car was injured but was able to walk to an ambulance before going to the hospital, CBS affiliate KCTV reported. Police told KCTV they were investigating whether the driver had a medical emergency or was otherwise impaired. There was no one inside the hall at the time of the incident, police said. The collision was captured by cameras at the Lewis Elementary School, which sits adjacent to the hall. School was not in session at the time of the incident, police said.

Posted by Excelsior Citizen on Wednesday, May 28, 2025 Police did not say what damage the hall incurred. The first crash occurred in February, police said, when a Kansas man tried to outrun law enforcement after being pulled over because they believed he was intoxicated. During the chase, the driver was going more than 100 miles per hour, police said. KCTV reported the driver, identified by police as Calen Hollis, was a sex offender. He sustained multiple fractures, and two juvenile female passengers had serious but injuries that were not life-threatening, police said. Hollis was charged with two counts of fleeing a traffic stop, resulting in injury. Again, no one was in the hall at the time of that crash. The building's kitchen was destroyed, KCTV reported. The police department said it will meet with traffic safety partners to "see if any improvements can be made in the area." Lisa Reinhart, an area resident, told KCTV that she blames drivers, not the road. "If you drive the speed limit, it's not an issue," Reinhart said. "It's 25 through here, so it shouldn't be an issue unless you're blatantly not listening to the speed limit."

Kansas City's 1,024-foot red tower could glow from Midtown once again
Kansas City is poised to re-illuminate an iconic Midtown landmark. The City Council's finance committee forwarded a licensing agreement with Gray Local Media on Tuesday that would allow the city to install and use lighting equipment on the 1,024-foot KCTV Broadcast Tower on East 31st Street. Once bathed in the glow of over 1,000 lights, the tower would be the first city landmark to be re-lit under the city's Illuminate KC initiative: red for the Chiefs, teal for the KC Current, and other colors to reflect various sentiments. The ever-looming 1,042-foot KCTV tower was the third-tallest freestanding structure in the world when it began transmitting in 1956. The tower stopped glowing roughly 20 years ago, owing to rising maintenance costs and difficult logistics. With Illuminate KC, the city hopes to 'shine a light' on Kansas City's landmarks and historic buildings, Phinney Sachs of the mayor's office said Tuesday. The KCTV Tower will join other illuminated buildings like City Hall, Union Station and the Kauffman Center. The next focus will be lighting the Kit Bond Bridge over the Missouri River, and work has already begun to move that toward reality. The City Council is expected to vote on the licensing agreement with Gray Local Media, which would last at least 10 years and comes with no cost, on Thursday. The KCTV tower is visible in the distance as snow blanketed Kansas City in 2023. Further work is needed, and details are to be announced. The city would need to cover the costs of a structural analysis and installing the equipment. City staff have been working on finding funds, and the council will likely consider funding at a future date. Costs were previously estimated in the mid-hundred thousands of dollars. The tower was lit in red this winter as a test run and preview of what's to come. A full updated light installation would run up the tower's platforms.

Patrick Mahomes Questions Why He Kept 'Nappy Hair For So Long'
Patrick Mahomes debuted a new look and, in the process, questioned how he kept his signature curls for so long. Speaking with Kansas City news station KCTV, the Chiefs' star player flaunted a lower haircut and explained why he was hesitant to make the chop. 'I've wanted to do it for a while, but it was kind of one of those superstitions, I kept winning the Super Bowl, which is a good thing, but I didn't want to cut the hair while I was doing it,' detailed the 29-year-old. Advertisement 'I told everybody during the season that win or lose, if we win three in a row or if we lose, I'm getting a haircut like that's enough. I'm very excited. I've looked at some videos from last year, and I can't believe all you guys let me keep that nappy hair for so long, like I look way better now with the short hair, so I'll be keeping this going forward.' Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs looks on before the game against the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field on December 15, 2024 in Cleveland, Ohio. The low fade is not the only new thing the championship-winning quarterback has accepted. In the first round of the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night (April 24), the Kansas City Chiefs selected Ohio State offensive tackle Josh Simmons. According to KC Kingdom, Simmons was a projected first-round pick at the beginning of the season before suffering a torn patellar tendon last October, however, coach Andy Reid said he expected the rookie to be ready for training camp. After the pick was made, Mahommes posted the smiling face with sunglasses emoji. Advertisement Watch Patrick Mahomes' interview with KCTV below. More from Sign up for Vibe's Newsletter.
