At Rest

Vehic/Purs
Traci Hooper, 14, fled from an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper and sped toward Seminole at speeds that topped 100 mph. Seminole police tried to slow her by setting up three roadblocks, but Hooper went through them and into a busy section of town. City police and Seminole County sheriff's deputies also pursued. Hooper was going 70 mph when she lost control of the car and it hit a traffic light pole. The impact sheared the car in half and killed her.
This record exists so that Traci Hooper, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
