How they died
Vehic/Purs
A false robbery report and a stolen newspaper vending machine led to a police pursuit that ended with a 1980 Chrysler LeBaron crashing and killing the driver, Dwayne Woodrum and seriously injuring the passenger. An officer allegedly saw three men trying to shove an object into the back of the LeBaron. When they saw the officer, two of the men jumped in the car and fled while the third took off on foot. Police caught up with the man who ran, and he claimed the other men tried to rob him. Two officers saw the men in the car and gave chase until Woodrum lost control of the LeBaron and crashed into a tree in front of the fire station.
