KHP continues to investigate I-70 chase, rollover accident

chaseDICKINSON COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities continue to investigate a man and woman involved in a high-speed chase and accident just after 11a.m. on Tuesday in Dickinson County.

The Geary County Attorney will make a decision on charges since the initial interaction with law enforcement and the alleged stolen Toyota passenger vehicle from Florida began in that county, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

The suspect ran one vehicle off the road in a construction zone just east of Abilene and drove around deployed stop sticks just west of Abilene.

The chase ended on Interstate 70 just east of Solomon Road when the KHP used a tactical vehicle intervention, which caused the suspect’s vehicle to roll, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

The man and woman in the vehicle were transported to area hospital. One by air to Wichita and the other by ground to Salina Regional Medical Center.

Until the case is presented to the Geary County Attorney, the names of those involved will not be released, according to the KHP.
