How they died

Pursuit

Following a report that someone stole a 2005 Mustang from the parking lot of a Circle K, a Ringgold officer spotted the car and tried to pull the driver over. The driver fled onto I-75 North, and the officer pursued him "driving at an extremely high rate of speed and reckless." The driver was trying to change lanes when he hit the rear side of a Dodge Ram pickup, causing the Dodge Ram pickup to veer to the left crossing the left northbound travel and careen across the center median guardrail and enter the southbound lanes of I-75. The Dodge Ram pickup rolled over several times before coming to final rest on its right side, in the left and middle travel lanes of I-75 southbound. The pursued driver in the allegedly stolen other, and the driver of the Dodge Ram were both killed.
