CUNNINGHAM, Kan. (AP) - A 15-year-old girl has died after authorities say she led police on a chase that began in Pratt County and ended in Kingman County.
According to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, 15-year-old Rebecca Vandermerwe was erratically driving a car with Oklahoma license plates Sunday morning when they tried to pull her over.
