Kansas City, Missouri, police started to chase a Black Dodge Ram 1500 in Kansas City. After the chase crossed into Kansas, the Kansas Highway Patrol began to pursue the stolen vehicle.
A KHP vehicle clipped the truck, and then the truck flipped and crashed on 18th Street Expressway.
KHP spokeswoman Candice Breshears said the technique a trooper used to stop the truck is called a technical vehicle involvement. Breshears said troopers undergo training to use the technique, including assessing traffic on the roadway. Breshears said it's used across the state.
