Sides was traveling east on Interstate 70 when a trooper attempted to pull her over for a traffic violation, police said. The driver would not pull over so the trooper terminated the pursuit because of the high rate of speed, the nature of the offense, and the driver of the Cadillac was driving recklessly. When the driver exited onto Arlington, the trooper was not able to get in a position to take the exit as well because of traffic. Brookville police responded when the car crashed into the Wendy's restaurant, and she was shot and killed.
