Vehic/Purs
Tyler Yaroch was killed when he crashed his 2000 Jeep Wrangler after a police pursuit. Tonganoxie Deputy Chief Billy Adcox said that at around 12:30 a.m. an officer saw the Jeep going above the speed limit, run a red light at the KS-16 intersection and almost hit another other. According to Adcox, the officer pursued the Jeep at speeds in excess of 100 mph southbound on U.S. 24-40 until a supervisor advised the officer to terminate the pursuit east of the Lawrence Municipal Airport. Several hours later, a passerby discovered the crashed Jeep just west of where the Tonganoxie officer ended his pursuit.
This record exists so that Tyler Yaroch, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
