WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say a man and woman in a stolen SUV involved in a crash that killed two people are both convicted felons.

Police say Mia Collins, 24, led police on a chase Sunday in a stolen BMW sport utility vehicle. After about 1 mile, the car collided with a car and another SUV at an intersection.

The crash killed 70-year-old Maria Wood and 12-year-old Rosemary McElroy and critically injured 36-year-old Jenny Wood, a popular Wichita musician known for performing with children. She is Wood’s daughter and McElroy’s aunt.

The Wichita Eagle reports Collins is on probation. A passenger in her car, 38-year-old Christopher English, is on parole.

The driver of the SUV that was hit, 65-year-old Alfred Angle, was injured. Collins and English also were taken to a hospital.
