How they died
Vehic/Purs
Jerrard D. Williams and Jowayne C. Richardson were killed at 1:32 a.m. after colliding with a semi while driving the wrong way on I-80, police said. A state trooper had reportedly clocked the car going 111 mph, and gave chase when the car was still eastbound. The trooper said he believed Richardson and Williams turned into a rest stop, but he couldn't find them and he turned around. An autopsy determined they died of massive trauma, not from the fire that broke out after the crash. The trucker was not seriously injured. A Bureau County inquest jury determined that the deaths of Richardson and Williams were accidental.
