How they died

Vehic/Purs

At around 12:55 a.m. a Southfield officer was checking for speeders on the shoulder of the southbound Lodge Freeway when a 1998 Cadillac Deville went by at 91 mph, police said. The driver reportedly turned off the headlights when they saw the officer, swerved to the far right lane and exited onto the southbound Southfield Freeway. According to police, the officer pursued the Cadillac, but called it off after the driver exited onto Seven Mile. Police said both cars were traveling at high speeds. The fleeing car reportedly ran a red light, lost control, hit a wall, flipped over and fell back down onto the Southfield Freeway. Both occupants were ejected and died.
