KANSAS CITY (AP) — Police have identified the three victims killed last week when a firetruck collided with a sport utility vehicle and then smashed into a building in a Kansas City entertainment area.
Police said Monday that 41-year-old Tami Knight was struck last Wednesday when the impact of the crash forced the truck and the SUV over a sidewalk, where she had been walking. The vehicles came to a stop in a Westport building that had been home to the Riot Room, a bar and music venue that recently closed. Her body was found in the rubble the next day.
The other two victims, 41-year-old Jennifer San Nicholas and 25-year-old Michael Elwood, were riding in the SUV, The Kansas City Star reported.
San Nicholas and Elwood were both employees at Ragazza Food & Wine, according to the Italian restaurant. A post from the establishment described them as “wonderful" and “amazing." No firefighters were injured in the crash.
