According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, 16-year-old Jadon Orr of Overland Park was traveling west on Kiowa Street in a 1999 Dodge car being pursed by Leavenworth Police.

A 10-year-old child in the van received minor injuries, but wasn't transported to a hospital. Two other children in the van , ages 3 and 9, weren't hurt.

The accident was reported shortly after 10:30 Saturday morning.
