How they died
Vehic/Purs
According to police, a pursuit began after a deputy saw two "suspicious" vehicles going through a bank drive-through at Plainfield and Rupert around 2 a.m. The deputy reportedly tried to stop one of the vehicles, a 1994 Ford Mustang driven by James Cortez Escobar, for a traffic violation, but the car sped away. The deputy chased Escobar to about Three Mile Road, where police said he discontinued the pursuit because the Mustang was too far ahead, and the weather was poor. The Mustang crashed into a tree, killing Escobar.
