A car that wouldn’t stop for police was stopped by a light pole in Saint Joseph this morning. Officers say they did not pursue after the driver failed to stop earlier in the evening. Then shortly after 2 this morning the car hit a utility pole at 26th and Duncan.
The driver fled and is still being sought. He left behind an injured female passenger, who was taken to Heartland with injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening. KCP&L was called to deal with the broken pole. The incident is still under investigation.
