Seminole police tried to slow her by setting up three roadblocks, but Hooper went through them and into a busy section of town. City police and Seminole County sheriff's deputies also pursued. Hooper was going 70 mph when she lost control of the car and it hit a traffic light pole. The impact sheared the car in half and killed her.
