As of July 1, Kansas law now requires drivers move over or slow down for all stopped vehicles with hazard lights activated.

A Kansas City Scout camera captured numerous close calls as a Kansas Highway Patrol Motorist Assist Technician was attempting to close the ramp from southbound Interstate 35 to southbound U.S. 69 Highway just after 11 p.m. Tuesday.

Overland Park Police Department officers were working a welfare check with a person having a mental health emergency south of 87th Street.

The KHP truck, with emergency lights activated and a sign board displaying "highway closed" was parked across two lanes as the technician attempted to put out traffic cones.

Multiple drivers ignored the stopped truck's emergency lights, and its sign, forcing the technician abandon the stack of cones to move the truck forward on the ramp.

Drivers continued driving right up to the truck before driving across the gore area to rejoin southbound I-35, nearly causing several crashes.

Before the technician could walk back to the stack of cones, a driver plowed into the stack of cones and then kept on driving, back to southbound I-35.

The technician retrieved the cones and walked back towards his truck, where drivers continued attempting to drive around him.

Overland Park officers were able to safely detain person in crisis. That person has been transported to an area hospital for evaluation.

No injuries were reported.

All lanes reopened about a minute after this video ends.

High-Speed Pursuit Ends in Arrest – No Injuries Reported

Shortly after midnight on the morning of June 21, 2025, the Osawatomie Police Department attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a northbound vehicle traveling on U.S. Highway 169, south of 327th Street, for speeding. The driver failed to yield and fled at speeds reaching 108 mph.

The suspect vehicle exited at 327th Street and entered the city of Paola. At that point, officers from the Paola Police Department and the Miami County Sheriff’s Office joined the pursuit. The vehicle continued traveling at approximately 100 mph through city streets before re-entering northbound U.S. 169.

At this time, both Paola Police Department and Osawatomie Police Departments discontinued the pursuit, and the Sheriff’s Office continued. The vehicle accelerated to speeds exceeding 130 mph.

Deputies successfully deployed tire deflation devices, disabling two tires. Law enforcement agencies utilized the regional pursuit communication channel, which connects multiple agencies across the Kansas City region and is monitored by area dispatch centers.

The Johnson County, KS Sheriff's Office deployed an additional tire deflation device at 183rd Street and U.S. 169, successfully deflating a third tire.

The suspect continued westbound on 175th Street into the city of Gardner, where the vehicle struck a stop sign near Walmart before coming to a stop in the area of Coble Drive and Heather Lane. The driver was taken into custody without incident.

No injuries were reported during the pursuit. The only damage reported was to the stop sign and the suspect vehicle. No law enforcement vehicles sustained damage.

The driver, Joseph Lee Birdsong, 32, of Pleasanton, Kansas, was taken into custody by the Sheriff’s Office. He faces multiple traffic-related charges from the Osawatomie Police Department and the Sheriff's Office as well as one count of misdemeanor Interference with Law Enforcement. Mr. Birdsong is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

This incident serves as a reminder of the serious dangers associated with reckless and high-speed driving. Law enforcement agencies across the region have responded to numerous speed-related incidents in recent months. The willingness of officers and deputies to intervene in these situations reflects their commitment to protecting the public from harm.

The Miami County Sheriff’s Office remains dedicated to working in close coordination with neighboring agencies and communities to ensure the safety of our roadways. We will continue to take decisive action against those who endanger lives through dangerous driving behaviors.

Public safety is our top priority, and we urge all drivers to obey traffic laws and make responsible decisions behind the wheel.
