JEFFERSON CITY — A 59-year-old Marion, Illinois man suffered moderate injuries in a traffic crash Friday morning in Perry County, Missouri during a police chase.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports Richard D. Mulholland was taken to Perry County Memorial Hospital in Perryville by a Perry County ambulance.

The Taurus was forced off the road by the impact, but Laramore drove back on to the roadway and forced the Mulholland vehicle to stop.
The patrol says Mulholland was not buckled up.
