(KAIR)--An attempt to flee from authorities leads to a wreck which sends the suspect to the hospital.

Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says the case began around 3:00 Saturday morning when 18-year-old Anthony Lay, of Willis, was stopped by a Deputy for a traffic infraction at 159 Highway and Graham Road.

Instead of cooperating, Laurie says Lay decided to drive off, fleeing northbound on Graham Road until he wrecked his vehicle at Graham and 286th Road.

Lay was transported to Mosaic Life Care, in Saint Joseph, Missouri, for the treatment of his injuries.

Deputies investigated Lay for driving under the influence and driving while revoked following the crash.
