The crash took place around 6:14 p.m. on Saturday, May 11. Officials say two cars collided because one attempted to pass another in a no-passing zone and struck the other. After this collision, the first car ran off the left side of the road and struck a third car sitting in a driveway.
The 20-year-old driving the first car died in the crash. The 20-year-old passenger survived, and is facing possible charges, pending an investigation. Neither of them were wearing a seat belt.
A 37-year-old was driving the second car, along with a 10-year-old and a 31-year-old passenger. They were all injured, but the extent of their injuries is not known at this time.

As a parent, staying one step ahead of the "bad guys" is getting increasingly tough due to the vast landscape of the online world. Like me, if you are raising kids - Phil Williams' latest investigation is a must see. I appreciate the knowledge and practical steps he delivers in this report.
