How they died
Vehic/Purs
Ryan K. Jenkins died when he crashed an allegedly stolen 1999 Chevrolet pickup truck after fleeing police. Police said Jenkins was originally driving a Chrysler PT Cruiser and was being followed by an off-duty officer. Jenkins abandoned the car in Fort Madison, Iowa, stole the pickup and drove across the Santa Fe toll bridge into Hancock County. Just before 4 p.m., Jenkins was traveling southbound when the truck crossed the center line, hit the back left wheel of a northbound combine head-trailer, and then hit a grain truck head-on. The pickup caught fire and Jenkins was killed. The driver of the grain truck was seriously injured.
