How they died
Vehic/Purs
Obi Bailey's Honda Accord, carrying two friends-of-friends Larry Smith Jr. and David Demetrius Austin, was pulled over by a county deputy for burned-out headlights. Bailey bolted from the traffic stop and fled at speeds up to 80 MPH. The eight-minute police chase ended with the Accord crashed into a tree and the three teens dead. Legal battles addressed whether or not Smith and Austin were "fleeing suspects."
