How they died
Pursuit
Around 11:30 a.m., officers saw Silas Smith on the lot of a Speedy Gas Station. He initially pulled to the side of the road but then fled. A police helicopter was used to find Smith's Dodge Challenger, and police laid down spikes to stop the car. He drove over spikes twice, ran a red light and was struck by a Jeep Cherokee. The impact caused the Challenger to spin around and collided with a Ford Fusion, sparking a chain-reaction crash with three other vehicles including a semi truck. Smith was ejected from his car and killed.
