At around 5:10 a.m. on January 17th, police witnessed a Hyundai Elantra fail to stop at the stoplight at St. Joseph Street and 5th Street. A traffic stop on the vehicle was initiated, but it did not stop. The vehicle continued eastbound on St. Joseph Street, turned south on 4th Street, then turned east on Kansas City Street. The vehicle turned into the parking lot behind 21 Saint Joseph Street where the driver and passenger bailed out of the Elantra. The vehicle was still in motion and ended up colliding with a snow pile in the parking lot.
