My mother was a nurse who did private duty. One of her patients was a man whose car had run off the road and he was seriously injured. It was only by a miracle that another motorist passing by later saw smoke coming from the trees and he was found.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 37-year-old Lee’s Summit man who went missing one week ago was found Wednesday inside his vehicle, which he had crashed into a ravine off Interstate 470, authorities said.
Ryan Linneman, who was last seen Oct. 9, was found critically injured but alive in a vehicle about 175 feet off the roadway between the Raytown Road and View High Drive exits. Kansas City, Missouri, police said that it appeared he was driving eastbound when he lost control, traveled down a steep incline and crashed at the bottom of a wooded gully.
The vehicle was obscured from the view of passing motorists, and he was only found when a man riding a dirt bike in the area discovered the vehicle, Lee's Summit police said.
Linneman was transported to an area hospital with critical injuries.
