CRX Crash in KC, anybody know these fools?!
Accident on Barry Road critically injures three teens

Three teen-agers were in critical condition after a race between two vehicles caused a five-car wreck on busy Barry Road on Sunday night, police said.
The teens, who were in one of the speeding cars, were thrown from the Honda CRX as it struck multiple vehicles before coming to rest against a retaining wall.
The teens were the only people involved in the wreck who were seriously injured. The accident forced the closure of Barry Road between Green Hills Road and Waukomis Drive for three hours.
According to police, the CRX was racing a Ford Explorer westbound on Barry Road about 4 p.m.. As the vehicles neared a break in the median, the CRX attempted to pass the Explorer.
But the CRX didn't quite clear the SUV and clipped it. The impact sent the car barreling into the eastbound traffic lanes.
The CRX and another Explorer collided. The CRX then crashed into another car. The CRX, its back end mangled and passenger side caved in, skittered along a 10-foot stone retaining wall before coming to a stop.
The eastbound Explorer was rear-ended by another car as both motorists tried to stop.
Police would not release the identities of the teens -- two males and a female -- Sunday night. Investigators and paramedics said they did not think the teens were wearing seat belts.
All three were thrown dozens of feet from the vehicle, with one, a boy in his mid-teens, suffering serious head injuries, witnesses and paramedics said. Investigators were unsure which impacts launched the teens from the car.
Pieces of the Honda littered a 30-foot stretch of the road, with the car's rear stereo speakers coming to rest atop the retaining wall.
The teens were unconscious or nearly unconscious when two ambulances and a helicopter arrived to transport them to hospitals.
Police were uncertain Sunday whether any charges would be filed.

of course the local news is blaming it on the up-and-coming streetracing scene
