A police chase stemming from traffic-related charges ended shortly after the suspect’s SUV crashed into a Liberty home Sunday night.

Authorities were notified around 10:55 p.m. that a police chase was crossing from Sugar Creek into Liberty, Liberty police wrote on Facebook.

A person in the home was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.
