Authorities say a woman died and four people were injured in a crash during a police chase in northeast Kansas.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says a Holton police officer was pursuing a vehicle Thursday night in Holton when it ran a stop sign at an intersection on Highway 75 and collided with a Jeep. A passenger in the first vehicle, Shai Boyd, 26, of Topeka, died at the scene. The driver and a passenger, 19, were taken to a Topeka hospital with serious injuries. The driver and a passenger in the Jeep were treated for minor injuries.
The police and the Kansas Highway Patrol did not say why the Holton officer began the pursuit.
