Southeast Kansas teen killed in crash during chase

It was not immediately clear why Kirsch was being chased.
A southeast Kansas teenager was killed after crashing a vehicle during a police chase. Four other teen passengers were injured when they were ejected from the car in the rollover crash that occurred just after 8 a.m. Monday near the town of Columbus while officers were chasing a car driven by 17-year-old Noah Kirsch, of Pittsburg. The driver lost control and the car went off the road and rolled over several times. His injured passengers were identified as two boys and two girls, all 15 and 16 years old and from Pittsburg. They were taken to hospitals in Pittsburg and Joplin, Missouri. Check back for more information as it becomes available.
