A teenager almost crashed head-on into a police car as he drove a suspected stolen BMW the wrong way down the M60 after police chased the 18-year-old.
Brandon Pryde, known as Brandon Geasley, was driving around Wythenshawe on May 27, 2021, in a BMW X4 that had been reported stolen from Bramhall earlier that day, an inquest has heard. The 18-year-old, who was living in Park End Road, smashed into an oncoming car, driven by 66-year-old David Faulkner, as Brandon drove the wrong way down the M60. Both men died at the scene.
A hearing at Manchester South Coroners Court on Monday, July 4, heard from police officers who were involved in the chase, and Brandon's mum, Olivia Geasley, who wore a t-shirt with her son’s face on to mark his memory during the hearing. Mrs Geasley described her son as a "very quiet, shy, and well mannered boy" who would “lecture his friends when they got in trouble”.
