HARVEY COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities are investigating a woman on various charges after a chase and crash just after 8p.m. Tuesday in Harvey County.

Several citizens reported a reckless driver nearly running other vehicles off the road, according to North Newton Police Chief Randy Jordan.

At the time, a North Newton K-9 officer and KHP Trooper were working another call. The K-9 officer located and attempted a traffic stop on the 2008 Chrysler 300 driven by Jodi Lynn Kennedy, 44, Udall.

The driver stopped two or three times, according to Jordan when the chase started and continued on an all dirt portion of Spencer Road four miles southeast of Newton.

Approximately a mile after the KHP Trooper deployed spike strips, the vehicle left the roadway, struck an embankment, reentered the road northbound again, left the roadway a second time, stuck another embankment and rolled.

Kennedy was transported to the hospital in Wichita.
