A passenger sitting in the right front seat died at the scene. The driver and right rear passenger sustained major injuries and were rushed to the hospital. The rear left passenger sustained minor injuries and was also taken to the hospital.
The passenger killed was a 22-year-old man. The driver was a 28-year-old man and the two other passengers were 24-year-old men.
