A 62-year-old Massachusetts man was hospitalized Wednesday evening following a crash east of Humboldt.

The Kansas Highway Patrol said Darrell Kinney, Westminster, Mass., was being pursued by law enforcement on Hawaii Road, three miles east of Humboldt, when he lost control of his 2004 Ford Explorer.

The vehicle went into the eastbound ditch, struck a barbed wire fence and rolled clockwise before coming to rest on its top.

It was not clear why law enforcement was pursuing Kinney, nor was the severity of his injuries announced, or if he was taken into custody.
