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”.

The labourer had bigger aspirations for his family and wanted to set up a dog breeding business to help them and make them proud. Assistant coroner Adrian Farrow heard that Brandon had ADHD, and stressful situations sent his brain into “a panic”, meaning the boy with "good morals" would often act first, then “think afterwards”.
Friends and family paid tribute to Brandon at the time of his death, describing the former St Paul's Catholic High School and Sacred Heart Primary School pupil as a "pure, pure soul" who "never had a chance". Sister Gabrielle Mullally said: "My whole family is broken. Without him, this world is worse off. He didn't get his chance to share his beautiful light around this world."
