All occupants of both cars were wearing seatbelts and there is no suspicion of impairment for the driver at fault.
Car accidents can happen at any time and can be fatal for all individuals involved. Unfortunately, even safe drivers can be involved in a car accident due to the negligence of someone else. Multi-vehicle crashes are devastating, especially when they lead to multiple fatalities. It is important to constantly be aware while driving to try and prevent a potential crash.
