On Thursday, 68-year-old Ronald Cook, wrong-way male driver, lost his life and multiple people received injuries after a head-on crash on Avenue 42.
The fatal incident happened after 7 a.m. west of Jackson Street, in which three vehicles were involved. The driver was traveling against traffic in the eastbound lanes when his car collided with a pickup truck head-on, causing the truck to propel backward into a car behind it.
Officers declared the 68-year-old man dead at an area hospital. The rescuers also rushed his female passenger to a hospital in serious condition while paramedics treated several patients at the crash scene because of their minor injuries.
The crash remains under review.
