Police chase ended with south Wichita crash that injured 3, including innocent driver
Three people were taken to the hospital after a 47-year-old Wichita man fleeing from law enforcement Saturday afternoon hit another car and a house in the 1100 block of South Meridian, authorities said.
One of those hurt was an innocent driver.
The Kansas Highway Patrol said Patrick Ian Hood was driving a Subaru Baja westbound on Irving Street, trying to get evade officers who were chasing him, when he ran a stop sign and collided with a Toyota Corolla that was southbound on Meridian around 12:30 p.m.
The Subaru then “overturned and struck a house on the southwest corner of the intersection,” according to a KHP crash report.
Hood and a 58-year-old Wichita man who was in the Subaru with him were hospitalized with suspected serious and suspected minor injuries.
The 25-year-old Wichita woman driving the Corolla was hospitalized with injuries that were suspected to be serious, according to the KHP report.
