Sheriff: 2 suspects run off cliff after chase in Kentucky
MCKEE, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky sheriff says two people who evaded police in their car and then ran off a cliff have survived with serious injuries.
Jackson County Sheriff Paul Hays tells WYMT-TV his deputies noticed a car weaving back and forth Monday night and gave chase when the driver wouldn't pull over.
He says the car struck a tree and its occupants got out and ran, falling off a cliff.
The passenger, April Colbert of Indiana, fell around 40 feet (12 meters), landing on a ledge. The driver, Codin Yoder, fell another 40 feet (12 meters).
Yoder told WYMT-TV he was badly injured, but everything was fine as long as his fiancee makes it. Colbert remains hospitalized in serious condition.
