The Missouri State Highway Patrol says a 17-year-old died in a crash while fleeing police.
The patrol says Hayden Holt, of Hallsville, died in the wreck early Friday in Columbia.
Holt was fleeing from police when his car went off a city street, hit a utility pole and overturned. He died at the scene.
Columbia police spokesman Jeff Pitts says the chase began after Holt committed a traffic violation.
