SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) – Authorities say a fleeing motorist in a stolen pickup
truck has caused a deadly crash in Springfield.

The Springfield News-Leader reports the truck was stolen around 7:00 a.m. Tuesday in Rogersville. Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Jason Pace says a trooper spotted the truck minutes later in Springfield and tried to stop it.

But Pace say the driver took off and crashed into a Jeep. The impact killed one
person and injured two others. The patrol isn’t releasing whether the person who
was killed was in the truck or the Jeep.
