(KNZA)—A Topeka woman was killed and four other Topeka residents were injured in a crash late Thursday night during a Jackson County pursuit.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened at the intersection of U.S. 75 Highway and 286th Road about 7 miles north of Holton.
The Patrol says a Dodge Avenger was westbound on 286th Road fleeing from a Jackson County Sheriff's deputy when the vehicle failed to stop at the intersection with U.S. 75 and collided with a southbound Jeep Renegade SUV.
The Patrol says a passenger in the Dodge, 26-year-old Shai Boyd, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the car, 42-year-old Robert Love, was transported to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka with suspected serious injuries.
Another passenger in the vehicle, 19-year-old Ciara Evertson, was also transported to the hospital with suspected serious injuries.
The driver of the Jeep, 41-year-old Sara Ditch, and her passenger, 56-year-old Scott Ditch, were both transported to the hospital with suspected minor injuries.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse said the pursuit began around 10:50 Thursday night in Holton when a Holton police officer attempted to stop the Dodge car.
The incident remains under investigation.
