More pedestrians and cyclists were killed in traffic crashes around Kansas City last year than any other year in the last decade — and the problem is only growing.
43 pedestrians and cyclists were killed in traffic crashes in the Kansas City metropolitan area last year, the highest number in the last 10 years, according to data from the Mid-America Regional Council. kansascity.com/news/local/art…
The Star’s @cronkb analyzed traffic crash and injury data to narrow down which streets are the most dangerous — and with one exception, the streets with the most injuries and deaths of non-drivers fall in the urban core of KC. kansascity.com/news/local/art…
Hi there, KC! We know things on Twitter have been a little… hectic, to say the least. We wanted to connect and fill you in on where you can follow @KCStar here and on other platforms to get accurate, reliable Kansas City news. 🧵

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt aggressively pursued multiple prosecutions after a child's death at Schlitterbahn in 2016.
But the cases imploded in spectacular fashion, with unusual decisions, prosecutorial misconduct and basic mistakes. 🧵kansascity.com/news/politics-…
Schmidt tried to prosecute more than half a dozen individuals and businesses in connection with the death of the son of Scott Schwab, who was a GOP state legislator at the time and is now the Kansas secretary of state. kansascity.com/news/politics-…
The decision to pursue criminal charges, let alone murder, shocked some legal experts. The family of Caleb Schwab settled with Schlitterbahn in civil court for about $20 million. kansascity.com/news/local/art…
20 years ago, Myron Piggie went from being the “godfather of AAU” to the public face of corruption in college basketball. Where is he now? @TorianoPorter spent time with him to find out. kansascity.com/opinion/opn-co…
@torianoporter Myron Piggie became a figure of national notoriety for allegedly paying elite high school basketball players to suit up for his summer Amateur Athletic Union team. He went to prison and today still owes colleges more than $250,000. kansascity.com/opinion/opn-co…
There are less than 2 months until the Missouri primary election. Here’s how the race for Missouri’s open U.S. Senate seat is shaping up. 🧵⬇️
Former Gov. Eric Greitens is the frontrunner in the Republican U.S. Senate race, but his time in public office has not been without controversy.
Most recently, he is facing allegations of domestic violence from his ex-wife. bit.ly/3xPjvlU
The success of the Greitens campaign will depend on rural voters who, in recent years, have grown increasingly conservative. The margin of victory in areas like Lincoln County could help decide the winner of the general Senate election. bit.ly/3xOIgPe
After years of their son struggling to keep up in classes and socialize in school, Natalie and Christopher Beer pushed to get a medical diagnosis for him, which eventually confirmed he has autism spectrum disorder. kansascity.com/news/local/edu…
Despite warning signs that their son required more support in school, the Beers argue that the school district has continually failed to appropriately evaluate him for special education and provide needed services, both before and after the diagnosis. kansascity.com/news/local/edu…
