How they died

Pursuit

According to reports, state troopers traveling north on Douglass Street saw a 2003 Cadillac CTS ahead of them with a defective brake light at about 11:15 p.m. The Cadillac turned east onto Hess Avenue and troopers followed without activating their overhead lights or sirens, police said. The troopers said they lost sight of the Cadillac until they reached Russell Street and saw faint tail lights to the south. The troopers turned onto Russell, but encountered heavy snow and ice. Police said the Cadillac went off the west side of the road, struck a tree, and split into two main pieces, one of which was on fire. Troopers said they found the driver, Stephenson D. Brown, lying dead in the road about 40 feet from the wreckage.
