How they died
Pursuit
About 3 a.m., a Morgan County patrol car was westbound on Morton, and an eastbound other was travelling at a high speed at the viaduct on East Morton. The squad car activated its lights. The other other stopped, did a 180 degree turn, and fled west. The police car pursued, but reportedly lost the other when the driver shut off its lights. About 15 minutes later, an accident was reported on the railroad tracks. The other left the blacktop and turned onto the tracks, where the driver lost control, and the other struck a pole. The passenger, Joshua Gordley, 19, of Jacksonville, IL, was killed.
