A Kansas Highway Patrol pursuit ends in a deadly crash in Coffey County.

Yesterday morning at 11:17am, a KHP Trooper initiated a traffic stop on northbound Highway 75. The vehicle, a red Ford F-150, was stolen as a result of an aggravated robbery carjacking in Texas. The vehicle fled and a pursuit was initiated. At 11:24am, the Ford drove onto the right shoulder and attempted to pass a commercial vehicle. While passing, the Ford truck was involved in a crash with two commercial vehicles.

As a result of the collision, the driver and passenger of the Ford F-150 were pronounced dead. There were no injuries reported to either commercial vehicle driver. The KHP Critical Highway Accident Response Team was called to the scene, and this crash remains under investigation at this time.
