Jamaal Reed died after the 2010 Camaro SS he was driving went over a retaining wall on Martin Luther King Bridge after he was pursued by two police cars. The wreck was reportedly not discovered until 2.5 hours after the crash, when an Ameren repairman, searching for the cause of a power outage, discovered the Camaro off Collinsville Avenue beside the bridge ramp. Reed was dead and a passenger was found injured. According to police, an FBI agent on the bridge happened to see the Camaro speeding. Police said they pursued the Camaro, but stopped due to high speeds at around 9/25 p.m. Although police said the chase ended on the westbound part of the bridge, they then said the Camaro came back eastbound on the bridge to Illinois, and the officers lost sight of it.
