A pickup truck fleeing from Belton police crashed early Friday, ejecting a 25-year-old woman and causing serious injuries.

The incident began around 3 a.m. when an officer spotted a 2014 Dodge Ram truck that had been reported stolen from Lee’s Summit.

The officer tried to pull over the pickup at Interstate 49 and 163rd Street but the driver refused to stop and sped away, according to Belton police.

Several Belton police officers pursued the pickup as it sped south on I-49 toward Peculiar. Police deployed stop sticks at I-49 near 203rd Street. The driver lost control and the pickup left the roadway and rolled over near I-49 and Peculiar Way, police said.

The woman sustained serious injuries and was taken to the hospital after the crash. A 37-year-old man was arrested at the scene and taken to the hospital with injuries that were not as serious.

No other details were released.
