When they died, they were trying to escape ...
It's a very common structure. Another example is a saying that goes, only the good die young. It means when he/she dies, he/she is very young. You don't say "only the good die youngly".
Don't worry. The more you read, the easier it'll become to you.
Hope this helps,
