How they died
Vehic/Purs
A trooper attempted to stop Jelani Adom Green, who was traveling 75 mph in a 55-mph zone on Interstate 64 at 3:22 a.m. Green did not stop and instead sped up the 2000 Ford Excursion, which had three passengers. The trooper began pursuing. Green exceeded 100 mph. Green passed a construction area, and a trooper stationed there joined the pursuit, so did a third trooper. About 3 miles into the pursuit, Green tried to maneuver the SUV out of a rolling police road block by driving through the median. The other overturned, crossed into the westbound lanes and overturned again and landed in a wooded area, killing Green.
