INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) - A man has been charged in a suburban Kansas City police chase that ended in a head-on collision and fire.
Eighteen-year-old Dennis Mead III was charged Monday in Jackson County with resisting a lawful stop and creating a substantial risk of serious injury or death after fleeing Independence police Sunday in a stolen sport utility vehicle. Prosecutors requested $150,000 bond.
A detective wrote in court records that Mead hit one person standing by the SUV as the chase began, causing minor injuries. Police say the chase ended when he hit a pickup truck head-on, causing it to catch fire. Police say a woman in the SUV with Mead was ejected in the crash. Three people in the pickup truck were hurt.
