On October 4, 1999, 24-year-old Michael Greenwood, a Culligan water delivery driver from the Springfield, Missouri area, was killed while making a delivery turn in Urbana, Missouri. A pickup truck fleeing law enforcement at speeds reported up to 120 miles per hour struck Greenwood’s vehicle. The impact ejected Greenwood and killed him instantly. He left a pregnant wife expecting twin boys and a five-year-old daughter.

The fleeing driver was 20-year-old Kenneth Dewayne Williams, who had escaped a maximum-security prison in Arkansas the day before by hiding in a 500-gallon tank of hog slop. After killing 57-year-old former warden Cecil Boren and stealing his truck, Williams was pursued by officers across about 60 miles before losing control and crashing into Greenwood’s truck. Williams was apprehended at the scene and reportedly spat on Greenwood’s body.

Williams was returned to Arkansas and later tried for Boren’s murder; the Urbana crash was cited as an aggravating factor at trial. Michael Greenwood’s family survived him; if anyone knew Michael or saw him on his route in 1999, can you share what you remember?
