According to police reports cited by 6abc and other news outlets, a Nissan Sentra heading west caused the collision by entering the eastbound lanes and colliding head-on with a Kia Forte. The impact caused the Kia to move backward and hit another Nissan Sentra while debris from the crash hit a Toyota Yaris. The Nissan Sentra that caused the accident caught fire, as reported by 6abc.
According to reports, Suriel was behind the wheel of the Kia while Constrantino was a passenger in the vehicle that caused the accident. Apparently, some Good Samaritans quickly came to the scene and helped pull the victims out of their cars. As a result of the crash, at least six people, including two children, were taken to the hospital with different injuries.
Suriel and Constrantino received an outpouring of condolences.
