An early Thursday morning chase in Franklin County, Kansas ended in a crash that killed a Roeland Park, Kansas man.

The Kansas Highway Patrol said troopers were chasing a 2003 Ford F-150 on Kansas Highway 68 when the driver of the pickup lost control and rolled over.

The truck was occupied by four people. It was not immediately clear who was driving, but one of the occupants, identified as Mario Calderon-Orozco, 29, was pronounced dead on the scene.

Another man suffered non life-threatening injuries in the wreck.

Two other men, including one who presented a Mexican ID to troopers, were not injured in the wreck.
