How they died
Pursuit
Deputies were called around 8:45 p.m. to a convenience store for reports of two people at the gas pumps who appeared to be engaged in drug activity. A other backed out of the parking space and refused to stop when a deputy tried to pull the car over. The deputy pursued the other for four minutes but reportedly canceled the pursuit when he lost sight of the other. Another deputy saw the other at about 9 p.m. on Highway 221. The deputy tried to stop the other, but the other fled and cut off its lights as it crossed over I-85. The other ran a red light at an intersection and crashed head-on into a tractor trailer, killing driver Jordan Balkind, 23, and passenger, Braeden Rankin, 23.
