At Rest

Vehic/Purs
A 2003 Mercury Sable driven by 9-year old TyJun Thigpen reportedly evaded a checkpoint. A MHP trooper pursued the car down Old Jackson Road before it turned sharply onto Old Hillsboro Road and eventually veered off the road, crashed through a metal gate and hit utility poles, killing Justin Harrell and Brayden Scott Traxler, and injuring Thigpen and a 13-year old girl. Thigpen had reportedly snuck his mother's keys and the kids went for a ride.
This record exists so that Brayden Scott Traxler, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
