An SUV crashed into a downtown building during a police chase Thursday morning. Police tried to stop the driver of a white SUV about 10:20 a.m., but the driver refused and sped off, losing control and hitting a fire hydrant before slamming into the building at 18th and Oak streets.

Structural engineers also were called to the scene after the building partially collapsed. The driver was injured. Police are still investigating.
