Cass County teen seriously injured in Cass County Crash

On 1/1/20 around around 5:50am the Missouri State Highway Patrol in Cass County responded to a one vehicle accident on Missouri 58 Highway westbound at Miller Street.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the accident occurred when the 2007 Ford Escape driven by 18 year old Jayden L. Lasley of Raymore, Missouri fell asleep and the vehicle traveled off the south side of the roadway, striking a power pole and causing the vehicle to catch on fire.

Mr. Lasley sustained serious injuries in this accident and he was transported by Pleasant Hill EMS to Belton Regional Medical Center for treatment.

The vehicle was totaled and towed from the scene of this accident by Stevers Tow.

Thicker than thieves...

Theft is on the rise around Bates County but unfortunately most cases go unsolved according to police. The good news is there are several things that can help including neighborhood watches and use of social media.

In fact, a new Facebook page called Bates County Stolen is growing in popularity and you’ll find it here https://www.facebook.com/groups/668396850361910

Hopefully it’ll help get items back to rightful owners.
