A man fleeing police crashed into a tree in south Wichita early this morning, authorities said. The crash sent him to a local hospital with potentially serious injuries.
The incident began when an officer tried to pull over the vehicle at 12:10 a.m. at Harry and Erie, a Sedgwick County dispatch supervisor said. The driver, a man in his 50s, took off and tried to lose the officer.
But he failed to negotiate the T-intersection at Mount Vernon and Clifton and struck a tree. The tree then hit a utility pole, knocking power out to the surrounding area for a short time, according to KFDI Radio.
The driver was taken to Wesley Medical Center for treatment.
