(KAIR)--A 20-year-old Atchison man is dead, killed after the vehicle he was riding in crashed during an alleged attempt to escape from police.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the victim, Jacey Paris, was among four occupying the vehicle, which was driven by 22-year-old Atchison resident Brandon Mann. He and two other passengers, aged 15 and 16, were transported to area hospitals by Atchison County EMS for treatment of their injuries.
Wilson, in the release, explains that an officer on patrol, around 2:10 Monday morning, “observed a vehicle driving recklessly at 6th and U.S. Highway 59,” with the officer attempting to stop the vehicle. Instead, it's alleged that Mann fled north on 4th Street, with the officer then locating the vehicle after it crashed in the 900 block of North 4th Street.
According to Wilson, the vehicle had left the roadway and landed on its top, leading to Paris’ death and to the injuries for the other occupants.
The investigation is handled by the Kansas Highway Patrol and Atchison Police.
