How they died
Vehic/Purs
Off-duty deputy Mark Pierce struck a other driven by Benjamin Leonard at the unmarked intersection of 79th Street South and 167th Street West. Leonard was killed and his 4-year-old son was seriously injured in the crash. Pierce was also injured. The Kansas Attorney General's Office cleared Pierce of wrongdoing in the crash, but Leonard's brother questioned the objectivity of the initial investigation because the Sheriff's Office was investigating one of its own. Leonard's brother was also reportedly suspicious about several bottles of beer found near the accident scene.
