Media summary: Tyler Yaroch was killed when he crashed his 2000 Jeep Wrangler after a police pursuit. Tonganoxie Deputy Chief Billy Adcox said that at around 12:30 a.m. an officer saw the Jeep going above the speed limit, run a red light at the KS-16 intersection and almost hit another vehicle. According to Adcox, the officer pursued the Jeep at speeds in excess of 100 mph southbound on U.S. 24-40 until a supervisor advised the officer to terminate the pursuit east of the Lawrence Municipal Airport. Several hours later, a passerby discovered the crashed Jeep just west of where the Tonganoxie officer ended his pursuit.
