According to a news release, the crash involved vehicles driven by Briana Hoppes, Jackson Stamper, and Charles Billingsley.

The initial investigation shows that Hoppes was travelling west on State Road 350 and crossed the center line, striking a vehicle driven by Stamper. The collision caused Hoppes to collide with a pickup truck, operated by Billingsley.
