Christopher Michael Bruns was killed in a fiery crash during a pursuit. According to the KHP, a trooper tried to stop Bruns' pickup truck at about 11:30 p.m. near the Saline-Lincoln county line for a traffic violation. Bruns didn't stop and a chase ensued. Officers set up spike strips across all lanes near Russell. As Bruns approached, he reportedly drove head-on into an eastbound semi and died. The other driver wasn't physically injured. Due to the severity of the crash, positive identification couldn't be made through normal identification processes, the KHP said.
