The early reports showed that a driver in a gray Toyota Corolla was going in the northbound left turn only lane on North Freeway northbound service road and was approaching the intersection of Rankin Road.
On the other hand, a white 2013 Honda Accord was traveling behind the gray Toyota in the northbound left turn only lane. The driver of the Honda was going at a high rate of speed and crashed into the back left side of the Toyota.
