DOUGLAS COUNTY —A crash in Lawrence ended with an arrest after two men who heard the noise chased after the fleeing driver.
The crash occurred just before 3p.m. Tuesday, on North 3rd St. near North Street, according to a social media report from Lawrence Police. A pickup truck skidded about 50 feet before slamming into the rear-end of a car.
Police learned the driver of the truck got out and started to run but two witnesses ran after him and brought him back to the scene. Responding officers found that the truck had been driving erratically prior to the crash.
The man had several outstanding warrants and was in possession of a substance officers believe is cocaine. Medics transported him to the hospital to be checked out and he was later booked into the Douglas County Correctional Facility.
The people in the other car were not seriously injured, according to Lawrence Police.
