A Missouri Highway Patrol trooper suffered non life-threatening injuries in a crash at 152 Highway and Church Road at the end of a chase Friday afternoon.
Just after 1 p.m., the Clay County Sheriff’s Office asked the MHP for help while they were pursuing a van on US 69 from Excelsior Springs.
The sheriff's office said the license plate had been stolen.
The MHP said troopers were getting into position to assist on MO-152 just west of I-35 when the van took the exit in that direction and crashed into a trooper.
