Today 03/18/25 around 12:30 PM Officers of the Louisburg Police Department, along with First Responders from the Louisburg Fire Department and Miami County EMS were dispatched to the Safari Hair Salon in the 900 block of W. Amity Street, regarding a motor vehicle crash, where a subject had driven into the business and had struck two people who had been inside the building. On arrival it was learned that a male subject driving his pickup travelling west on Amity Street had left the roadway east of Rogers Road onto the the south curbside and had continued traveling eastbound before they ended up driving though the east business wall of the building.
The driver continued through the building and struck the two occupants who were inside at a desk, before continuing through the western wall of the business, where they struck a parked car in the parking lot. The two people, a male and a female were both transported to Overland Park Regional Hospital for additional treatment, with one being in critical condition and needing immediate surgery, while the other was listed as being in serious condition.
The male driver of the pickup was treated on scene for minor injuries by EMS. Due to the serious nature of this accident, assistance was requested of the Miami County Sheriff's Office who provided their CHART and crash reconstruction team to assist in the investigation, and KDOT responded to help with traffic control as the two eastbound lanes of traffic had to be closed while crews were on scene. Appreciation is given to all who had to drive through the location this afternoon where the roadway conditions inconvenienced their travels and temporarily delayed them.
This crash is still under investigation.
