Pursuit Led To Deadly Crash In Taney County

(KTTS News) — The Taney County sheriff says a driver led deputies on a high-speed pursuit last Friday right before a deadly crash near Reeds Spring.

Deputies tried to stop Marty Wright, 32, from Kansas City for driving erratically.

Wright took off and hit speeds over 100 miles an hour, eventually going the wrong way at Highway 13 and 248.

Deputies called off the pursuit just before Wright crashed into another car, killing himself and 79-year-old Nancy Branham from Reeds Spring.

The driver of Branham’s car suffered critical injuries.

KY3 says the Taney County Sheriff is investigating the pursuit.
