At Rest

Vehic/Purs
Deputy Rick Cook responded to a report of a reckless driver on US-61 north of Wapello just before 6:30 p.m. The driver allegedly fled when Cook tried to pull the car over. Cook said he reached a speed of 120 mph during the pursuit, and lost sight of the car as it rounded a corner. The car crashed just after entering town and landed upside-down in a ditch. The passenger, Kylan Burrell, died at the scene. The driver, Levi Swanson, 23, was hospitalized. Swanson was later found guilty of of vehicular homicide.
This record exists so that Kylan Burrell, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
