KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Saturday night police chase involving the Kansas Highway patrol led to a collision, which left one woman hospitalized with suspected serious injuries.

At around 10:23 p.m. Saturday, a 17-year-old driving a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee was fleeing from KHP personnel on northbound 7th Street near 212 South Tremont Street. There were five other teenagers in the vehicle as well, according to KHP crash logs.

During the chase, the Jeep struck a 2014 Dodge Avenger, also traveling north on 7th Street, KHP says.

The driver of the Dodge Avenger, 53-year-old Yvonne Lawson of Kansas City, Kansas, lost control of the vehicle, ran off the road and crashed into a concrete wall.

Lawson was taken to a hospital with suspected serious injury.

It is unclear at this time if anyone has been taken into custody.
