How they died
Vehic/Purs
Kelvin Pantojas, 16, and Juan L. Hernandez, 18, went to the Tinseltown movie theater in Jackson Township and stole a car from the theater lot. They were driving northbound on I-77, when a Fairlawn police officer who did not know about the theft saw the car and ran the license plate. The officer pursued the other and signaled it to stop, but the 16-year-old driver fled, police said. The officer did not pursue per city policy. Pantojas, the driver, went about eight miles at a very high speed and struck and killed 74-year-old Calvin A. McMahan, who was crossing I-77 on foot.Pantojas lost control of the car after striking McMahan, crossed the southbound lanes and went into a wooded area after crashing into the light pole. Pantojas was also killed.
