There were three vehicles involved in the crash, which included a silver Infinity Q50 and a Chevy Impala. Police say their initial findings were the driver of the Infinity Q50, identified as Cori Clingman, 23, attempted to change lanes at a "high rate of speed when she struck the Dodge Charger and then struck the Chevrolet Impala."
The Charger, then, traveled off the right side of the road and "struck multiple tree stumps" before coming to a rest. No one was injured in Clingman’s vehicle, which had two other passengers inside, while the Chevy Impala driver refused medical attention at the scene.

Investigators believe alcohol may have been a contributing factor in the crash, though they did not specify which driver.
The Vikings released a statement on Saturday confirming the news that Jackson, a fourth-round pick out of Oregon in 2024, had passed away.
"I am absolutely crushed by this news," head coach Kevin O’Connell said in the statement.
"Khyree brought a contagious energy to our facility and our team. His confidence and engaging personality immediately drew his teammates to him. In our short time together, it was evident Khyree was going to develop into a tremendous professional football player, but what was more impressive was his desire to become the best person he could be for his family and those around him. I am at a loss for words. My heart goes out to Khyree's family, friends, teammates and coaches."
