How they died
Vehic/Purs
On Election Day, James Willingham, was driving home from the polls at around 3:30 pm on his motorcycle when he was reportedly hit by a state trooper's car with such force that his car was pushed into pedestrian Jeffrey Frazier and then crashed into a pole. Both Frazier and Williamham were killed. Police claimed they didn't hit Willingham, and that the crash occurred when Willingham fled after they tried to stop him for speeding. Diane Bukowski, a reporter whose story disputed the police version, was arrested at the scene for allegedly failing to comply with police. Bukowski said the officers erased photos from her camera after she was arrested.
