The incident, which unfolded around 10 p.m. at the intersection of 67th Avenue and Thomas Road, is currently being investigated by local authorities. According to ABC15, police have not yet pinpointed the exact cause of the fatal event.
The severity of the crash was immediately apparent as one male victim, whose identity has been withheld pending family notification, was rushed to a hospital and, succumbed to his injuries. The three individuals in the opposing car, although hurt, are expected to pull through.
