Kansas City Police have identified the victims of the fatal car wreck that slid off a bridge in south Kansas City in the early morning hours of January 10th. Breanna Bullington, 24, and her sister, Alexis Bullington, 21, were declared dead after their Honda vaulted off a snowbank over the bridge at I-435 and 103rd street into the Blue River below. A front seat passenger survived but is in critical condition. The sisters had lost their mother in 2020. The family had lived in Belton and Lee’s Summit.
KCPD reported that at 3 am, a red Honda SUV was traveling westbound on I-435, too fast for weather conditions on the snow covered highway. Just east of 103rd Street, the Honda ran off the roadway to the right, traveling up and over the snowbank that was lining the north side of the highway. The Honda then vaulted off the bridge, falling approximately 100 feet and landing in the Blue River.
The driver and rear seat passenger of the Honda were both declared deceased at the scene. The front seat passenger of the Honda was transported to a local hospital with critical injuries and is currently in critical condition.
