How they died
Pursuit
About 3:39 a.m., two people involved in the robbery fled in a red Saturn and were spotted by an officer minutes later. The officer initiated a traffic stop. The other pulled over in a parking before speeding away east on a westbound service road. They entered the westbound lanes of I-240 driving the wrong way, police said. The pursuing officer drove on I-240 going east in the eastbound lanes, paralleling the other to keep sight of them. They crashed head-on into another other. The collision killed the driver, Melvin Simpson, who attempted to elude police, and injured his passenger.
