How they died

Vehic/Purs

An officer tried to stop Joseph P. Long at around 9:45 p.m. for driving his 2004 Dodge pickup truck in a reckless manner. Long pulled over, but allegedly sped off when the officer got out of the patrol car. The officer chased Long until he rear-ended a truck driven by 15-year-old Teresa Fagen, who had a learner's permit, about two miles west of Perry. Fagen died from her injuries. Long, 35, was reportedly charged with attempting to elude an officer, expired driver's license, no insurance, improper passing and more.
