(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man was injured Wednesday night after crashing his motorcycle during a police pursuit.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says 48-year-old John Taitano was being pursued by law enforcement on westbound U.S. 24, about two miles west of Lawrence in Douglas County. The wreck happened after Taitano failed to negotiate a corner due to the speed he was going at the time.
Taitano was transported to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City for treatment of possible injuries.
The wreck was reported shortly before 9:00.
