A police pursuit in Geary County ended in a fiery crash, with no serious injuries reported.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says shortly after noon Sunday, officers were pursuing an eastbound Toyota Avalon on K-244. The vehicle failed to negotiate a left hand curve, crossed the centerline and struck a guard rail, overturning in the north ditch. It then caught fire.

Authorities say 43-year-old Brad Briand, of Junction City, was transported to Geary Community Hospital with a possible injury and a complaint of pain.

He was later released from the hospital and taken to Geary County Jail where he faces numerous charges, including felony flee and elude, speeding, obstruction, DUI and other drug-related charges.
