KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A driver was killed when a carjacking suspect ran a stop sign as he fled Kansas City police and hit another vehicle, police said.
The crash happened late Monday night after officers spotted a vehicle they believed had been carjacked earlier in the evening, police spokesman Jake Becchina said in a news release.
Officers tried to stop the suspected stolen vehicle, but the driver fled, leading police on a chase. A short distance later, the driver ran a stop sign just east of Ashland Square Park and hit another vehicle, Becchina said.
