WILSON, Kan. (AP) - A central Kansas man who allegedly led law enforcement on a high-speed chase has been injured after his vehicle crashed.

The Salina Journal (https://bit.ly/2rZ5CS0 ) reports that the 47-year-old was transported to Wesley Medical Center following the Thursday crash just south of Wilson. A hospital spokesman says the man was in serious condition as of Thursday afternoon.

A Kansas Highway Patrol report states that the man was being pursued by law enforcement when he attempted to turn into a field entrance at a high rate of speed, causing his vehicle to roll several times.



Ellsworth County Sheriff Murray Marston says the county deputy was investigating a parked car when the car took off at high speeds and crossed into Russell County.
