One dead after pursuit in Cass County

On 2/6/20 around 3:16pm the Missouri State Highway Patrol along with Peculiar Police Department and Cass County Sheriff's Deputies were pursuing a 2002 Ford Explorer at a high rate of speed on northbound Peculiar Way just south of Peculiar Drive in rural Cass County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the driver of the Ford Explorer 23 year old Bracken M. Hubbard of Kansas City, Missouri forcefully applied the brakes in a attempt to have the police strike his vehicle, this cause his vehicle to skid off the right side of the road and strike a power pole before overturning.

Mr. Hubbard was pronounced dead at Belton Regional Medical Center in Belton. The vehicle was totaled and towed from the scene of the accident by J's Southland Tow.
