A chase out of Doniphan County ended in a crash in front of South Belt Walmart Tuesday night.

The St. Joseph Police Department shutdown South Belt Highway for about an hour Tuesday after the crash.  An advisory was issued shortly before 9:30 p.m. warning drivers to avoid the 3000 block of S. Belt.

Sgt. Roy Hoskins with the St. Joseph Police Department said the pursuit started in Doniphan County and the St. Joseph Police Department was assisting when it crossed into their jurisdiction.

Officer Patrick Zemer with the St. Joseph Police Department Traffic Unit said they were called in to work the crash.

“The vehicle was trying to elude them and went through a red light and struck a vehicle in the intersection and hit a median,” Zemer said. “All parties involved went to the hospital.”

Zemer said an adult and a small child in the other vehicle both from St. Joseph were transported with what police described as minor injuries.  The suspect, also a St. Joseph resident was also transported with what was described as a minor injury.

Authorities are still investigating.  Zemer said charges in reference to the crash in St. Joseph have been submitted to the prosecutor’s office for consideration. Both Zemer and Hoskins said they could not comment on the pursuit.  We are currently awaiting a call back from the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Office for further details in the case.
