How they died

Vehic/Purs

William Corbett was killed in what police called a suicide after crashing a pickup truck while fleeing an officer. According to police, an officer responding to a domestic violence call at around noon saw a truck that matched the description given by the victim. The officer turned on his lights and siren, but Corbett reportedly refused to stop. The officer pursued Corbett until he swerved into oncoming traffic and struck an SUV at around 60 mph. Corbett died at the scene. Two women in the SUV were hospitalized in fair condition.
