04/20/2016

(KNZA)--A northwest Missouri pursuit ends with the suspect crashing his vehicle.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the chase began Tuesday night around 11:30 in Clinton County after deputies attempted to stop the driver of a 2016 Volkswagen Jetta for speeding on Highway 116, and ended in Buchanan County.

At one point during the pursuit, two sets of spike strips were deployed which the vehicle struck but continued on.

The Patrol says 24-year-old Jacob Spencer, of Liberty, was westbound when he failed to negotiate a curve, ran off the side of the road and struck a ditch about 1 ½ miles north of Dearborn shortly after 11:50.

Spencer was transported to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph for treatment of minor injuries

It was later determined both the vehicle and license plates were stolen out of Kansas.      

The investigation continues.
