LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) A 16-year-old driver who led police on a car chase in northeast Kansas crashed into a family’s car, injuring himself and three other people.
KCTV reports that the police chase started in Leavenworth County on Saturday morning when officers began pursuing the teen’s van. Police have not said why the teen was being pursued.
Leavenworth Police Chief Pat Kitchens said officers ended the chase, but the driver of the van continued to drive erratically. The teen’s van then hit a van carrying a Leavenworth family.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says the teen was ejected from his vehicle and was hospitalized in Kansas City.
Two adults and a child in the van were also injured, while two other children in the van were not injured.
