Man facing manslaughter, DWI charges in connection with wrong-way 50 Highway crash
Peter E. Goss of Mission Hills, Kansas, has been charged with one count of first-degree involuntary manslaughter, one count of DWI resulting in death and one count of driving the wrong direction on a highway, resulting in an accident.
One dead, one hurt in wrong-way crash on US 50 Highway in Lee's Summit
, just before 11 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 20, 2024, a 45-year-old man, later identified as Goss, was driving a Chevrolet Suburban on the wrong side of 50 Highway in Johnson County, Missouri.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said Goss crashed head-on into a Subaru Legacy, driven by 65-year-old Kevin Wilson of Lee's Summit, Missouri.
When emergency responders arrived, court records say Wilson was pronounced dead at the scene, and Goss was found trapped inside his Chevrolet, which had rolled onto its passenger side.
After Goss was rescued from the Chevrolet, court records say he was given a preliminary breathalizer test, which came back as a 0.160%—twice the legal blood alcohol content level.
He was subsequently taken to a hospital for his injuries and arrested on suspicion of felony DWI involving the death of another, driving in the wrong direction of a divided highway, and imprudent driving involving an accident.
While at the hospital, Goss was asked to take a chemical blood test by state troopers, but he refused and requested an attorney, court records say.
Jackson County courts then granted troopers a search warrant, and Goss was ordered to take the test. Court documents say the blood sample was taken back to the MSHP Crime Laboratory for analysis, but as of June 2025, the results have not been released.
Goss has since been formally charged in a Johnson County District Court, and according to his attorney, J.R. Hobbs, he has posted bond and 'complied with the pretrial release conditions set by the court.'
Additionally, Goss' attorney added that his first court appearance is scheduled for early July.

12-year-old killed in minibike crash in Raytown, highway patrol says
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 12-year-old was killed Thursday night in a minibike crash in Raytown, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP). The crash was reported just before 8 p.m. The MSHP crash log says the minibike ran off the road and hit a curb before crashing into a building at East 62nd Street and Arlington Avenue. 'In these warmer months, we tend to see a lot of activity with motorcycles, mini-bikes, ATVs, four-wheelers,' said Corporal Justin Ewing. 'We want to remind people: those cannot be operated on the roadways in certain situations. Particularly, you have to have a driver's license and in most of those instances, any of those vehicles that I just mentioned, you have to have a valid driver's license to operate those vehicles, but while you're on the road, you have to follow all the same rules, like speed limit, stop signs.' The 12-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene by Raytown Fire Department personnel. 'These incidents are tragic. It tears communities apart when we lose anyone in a crash, let alone a young driver,' Ewing said. 'So, we just want to encourage people, but particularly in these warmer months, and we know these days between Memorial Day and Labor Day are called the 100 deadliest days of summer for our young drivers. Whether it's driving in a vehicle, driving on a motorized scooter, minibike, moped, whatever it may be, have those good conversations about safety, where they should or shouldn't ride these things. We don't want to lose our young folks to tragic circumstances.' Amber Rollins is the Director of Kids and Car Safety. She said they've seen a drastic increase in the number of deaths and injuries when it comes to e-bikes and e-scooters. 'Our recommendation would be that children do not ride them,' Rollins said. 'Period.' She said from 2017-2022, there were about 360,000 emergency room visits nationwide involving E-bikes and e-scooters. 'We're finding that injuries involved in these types of crashes are very similar to those of motor vehicle crashes,' Rollins said. 'So, the speed at which these E-bikes operate is extremely dangerous. They can go up to 30 mph.' This is a developing story. Stay with FOX4 for the latest updates. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
