RAYTOWN, Mo. (AP) - A driver has died after crashing his car into a tree, another car and a utility pole in Raytown, authorities in the western Missouri city said.

The crash happened around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, when officers were called to the Raytown intersection where the crash occurred, the Kansas City Star reported. The Missouri State Highway Patrol said in a crash report that a car driven by Donald Hicks, 32, crossed a median and crashed into a tree, which then fell onto another car. The careening car then hit another car and a utility pole before stopping.

Hicks was pronounced dead at the scene. Raytown police say one of the drivers of the two cars damaged suffered minor injuries.
