How they died
Pursuit
About 8:27 a.m., troopers reportedly saw a Green 2010 BMW 528 traveling westbound on Interstate 80 at 94 mph. Troopers tried to stop make a traffic stop near Lordstown, but the driver fled and troopers pursued. The chase exceeded 100 mph. Troopers reportedly canceled the pursuit near mile marker 209 since they were headed into a work zone. After the BMW made it past construction, troopers restarted the chase. The BMW continued west and got onto state Route 8 South then turned west onto Boston Mills Road. Due to the terrain, curved roads and high speeds, troopers again reportedly canceled the chase, but shortly after the trooper saw that the BMW had crashed at about 8:46 a.m. The BMW went off the left side of the road, striking a guard rail before rolling over and coming to rest partially down an embankment. Ramon Smith, 22, and Ari'onna Nevaeh Taylor, 16, were killed. The other two occupants were injured.
