Reports from authorities show that a 2007 Ford F-150 and a 2011 Ford F-150 were both traveling southbound on the roadway when the two vehicles collided. The impact of the crash caused the 2007 Ford to go off the roadway and overturn. The driver of the Ford was ejected.

Authorities arrived at the scene and pronounced the victim deceased.  The male passenger in the 2007 Ford was airlifted from the scene of the crash to Spohn Shoreline for the treatment of serious injuries. At this time, the crash remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
