PECULIAR, Mo. (AP) - A 23-year-old man who was being pursued by police died in a crash last week in Missouri.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the crash happened Thursday afternoon around 3:15 p.m. in Peculiar, Missouri.
The man was driving a 2002 Ford Explorer fast as he fled, but at some point he braked hard and the vehicle slid off the road into a power pole and rolled over. The driver was taken to a hospital where he died. He was not wearing a seat belt.
It wasn’t immediately clear why Peculiar Police were pursuing the man. The highway patrol is investigating the crash.
