LOUISBURG, Kansas - A routine traffic stop turned deadly for one man in Miami County over the weekend. The accident happened just before 10 a.m. Sunday.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, Brandon Mechaley, 18, of Custer, South Dakota, was caught by a trooper speeding on U-69 Highway. When the trooper attempted to pull Mechaley over, the crash log reports that Mechaley exited to K-68 westbound.
The KHP says Mechaley tried to avoid vehicles that were stopped to turn into the Cider Mill and lost control of the 1997 Pontiac Firebird he was driving. The vehicle rolled and came to rest on its roof.
Mechaley was wearing his seatbelt, according to Highway Patrol.

Brandon was staying with my family in Louisburg for a few days before this happened. We met him in South Dakota 3 years ago and he was nice. The day of the accident, we woke up to a note on the counter saying "Went for drive, need to think some things through. Be back later." We didn't know what happened but he never came back. I don't why he was trying to outrun the cops but $30 was all the money he had, so he wouldn't have enough money for a ticket. That could've had something to do with it. I didn't know him very well, like my siblings did, because i'm younger, but the three days he was with us, he was awesome. He went through tough things, but he was always smiling. I can't believe he's gone. R.I.P. Brandon.

Brandon you were like a brother to me and I miss you so much. I hate myself for not talking to you or Brittany or Bradley or Brady as much as I could have. I just cant believe this is real. The last time I talked to you, you were pretending to be Brittany on her msn, you were funny, you were sweet, you were...alive. R.I.P. Brandon James Mechaley<3
