How they died

Vehic/Purs

Craig Louis Johnson was fleeing from Sgt. Mike Foster when he crashed through the wall of a house, killing David Hughes and seriously injuring Shirley Hughes as they slept. At around 12:30 a.m., Foster tried to stop Johnson because he had no license plate light. Police said Johnson accelerated before hitting an embankment, sailing into the air, and crashing through the window into the bedroom. Johnson, 20, pleaded guilty to reckless homicide, aggravated fleeing and aggravated DUI and was sentenced to 7 years in prison.
