A Kaiser teenager was hurt after a crash on eastbound Highway 54 in Camden County on Thursday night.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash happened around 11:50 p.m. near the 117.6-mile marker. Troopers said the 15-year-old driver was thrown from the car after he failed to go around a curve in the road and the vehicle flipped over.

According to the highway patrol, the teen was running from police before the crash.

A helicopter flew the teenager to University Hospital in Columbia with serious injuries. The highway patrol didn't release the driver's name due to his age.

Troopers said the teen wasn't wearing a seat belt.
