A single-vehicle crash in Shawnee killed a juvenile girl and critically injured a juvenile boy Thursday evening, according to police.

Around 7:19 p.m., the two were in a passenger car northbound on K-7 Highway when the vehicle left the road and struck a bridge pillar near Shawnee Mission Parkway, Maj. Jim Baker, a spokesman for the department, said in a news release.

Police said the girl “did not survive the crash” and the boy was taken to an area hospital in critical condition. Few details were immediately disclosed by police, including the ages of the juveniles.

The Shawnee Police Department is investigating the crash.

Toxic algae bloom considered in death of California family
Investigators are considering whether toxic algae blooms or other hazards may have contributed to the deaths of a Northern California couple, their baby and the family dog on a remote hiking trail, authorities said. The area in the Sierra National Forest where the bodies were found on Tuesday had been treated as a hazmat site after concerns were raised about the deaths being linked to potentially toxic gases from old mines nearby. “This is a very unusual, unique situation,” said Kristie Mitchell, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office.

Genesis GV60 crossover revealed as the luxury lineup's sporty EV
The hatch-tastic Hyundai Ioniq 5 introduced the world to the Electric Group Modular Platform — E-GMP to its friends — the dedicated battery-electric architecture shared among the Hyundai Group. The architecture showed up next under the Kia EV6, leaving Genesis as the only member of the South Korean group trio yet to show its hand. As number designations decrease in the Genesis lineup, sportiness increases, meaning the GV60 is meant to be sportier than the GV70 and GV80.
