A Platte City man perhaps narrowly avoided being burned to death after concerned passersby dragged his unconscious form away from his burning 2004 Jeep Wrangler on Friday at about 3 p.m. Edward Willis, 30, lies in critical condition at the North Kansas City Hospital after a two car head-on collision on Hwy. 92 about 1.5 miles east of Platte City. Willis has been in intensive care since being flown by medical helicopter to North Kansas City Hospital. The fiery impact occurred a bit east of Jackson Animal Clinic, slightly to the east slope of a steep hilltop.
