Media summary: Lili Stephens, who a trooper was attempting to stop, died in a head-on crash that also killed the other second driver, Jeffery Frazier. The KHP had received a report from a motorist of a 2000 Saturn being driven erratically on US 54 at around 7:30 a.m.. The trooper attempted to stop Stephens by first activating his vehicle's emergency lights, then his siren, but she allegedly kept driving and the trooper followed her. Less than four minutes into the pursuit, the Saturn crossed the centerline and struck Frazier's 1985 Toyota Camry head-on.
