The driver of the westbound car was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. They later died at the hospital.

That driver has not yet been identified.

The other four people hurt reportedly have non-life-threatening injuries.

Speed and impairment are not believed to be factors that led up to the crash.

The crash remains under investigation, but police believe the driver of the westbound vehicle may have had a medical emergency in the moments before the crash.
