When Darnell saw the Ford lose control, he steered into the northbound lane to avoid him only to crash head-on on the northbound shoulder into the Ford when the Ford overcorrected. [1]

Basco was pronounced dead at the scene.
Deville was taken to a local area hospital where he later died from his injuries.
No one was wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
