• Video shows Clay County deputy, KCPD officer rescue man from burning truck (kmbc.com) — A recent highway fire near Claycomo saw a Clay County sheriff's deputy and an off-duty Kansas City police detective pull a disoriented driver from a burning truck just before it exploded. The man, rescued along I-35 in the Claycomo area, was hospitalized with leg burns, and officials say the officers' quick actions likely saved his life.
• Ford Sent Up to 4,000 F-150 Workers Home for a Week Over a Part It Won't Name. Its Explanation Fits on a Post-it Note. (backfirenews.com) — Ford's Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo is seeing F-150 shifts canceled because of an unnamed parts shortage, slowing output even as the company struggles to rebuild truck inventories. While Transit van production continues, local workers and Claycomo-area truck buyers could feel the impact through reduced shifts, delayed factory orders, and tighter availability of certain F-150 configurations.
• Mary Lou DeVoy – Northland 09.28.2026 (meyersfuneralchapel.com) — A longtime Kansas City resident who retired from the Ford plant in Claycomo has died at age 93, leaving a large family and many friends mourning her loss. Known for her strong spirit, storytelling, and decades of hard work in local restaurants and at the Claycomo facility, her family is planning a Celebration of Life, with details to be posted by Meyers Northland Chapel.
