Police chase preceded crash on Brickton Road; 1 with minor injuries

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A vehicle involved in a crash Wednesday night at a Brickton Road intersection was first involved in a chase with police, according to Columbia Police Department Lt. Anthony Bowne.

The intersection of Brickton Road and Conley Road was blocked off on Wednesday night after a vehicle had flipped on its side after a crash.

Two vehicles were involved in the crash. The driver of a white sedan was pulled over for speeding at 7:07 p.m. and tried to speed away from police because they did not have a license, Bowne said.

The driver in the sedan crashed into a green truck, causing the truck to fall on its side. The driver of the white sedan then tried to run away to a nearby parking lot to steal another vehicle, but was arrested by police. The name of the driver was not given to media on Wednesday night.

A passenger in the white sedan suffered minor injuries and was brought to an area hospital, Bowne said. The driver inside the truck that flipped on its side had no reported injuries, according to Bowne.

Both cars were being towed at 8:09 p.m.
