How they died

Vehic/Purs

Qunzell Richard died after his car struck a tree while fleeing from a KHP trooper. Shortly before 8:30 p.m., the trooper tried to stop Richard's 1989 Pontiac for a traffic violation on I-135, but he reportedly turned onto Kellogg, exited into the business district and sped away. According to the patrol, the trooper ended the pursuit after a few minutes due to high speeds before the Pontiac then went out of control, veered across the street and struck a tree just outside Madill Carbide Inc. The front end of the car wrapped around a 2-foot-wide tree trunk. Two teenage passengers were treated and released. A third passenger was hospitalized in serious condition.
