When the vehicle entered Wilson County, officers resumed the pursuit again at speeds reaching 140 mph. The vehicle struck Deputy Musice and Sergeant Mundy as they attempted to lay down stop sticks near exit 226.
The two female occupants of the fleeing vehicle were injured in the incident and taken into custody at a local hospital
On June 30, 2004, the driver of the car was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and received two life sentences.
