She was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger in the Taurus was taken to the hospital in serious condition. The Taurus struck two other cars. No one was injured.

After striking the other vehicle, the Impala struck a building. The driver was taken to an area hospital in stable condition and arrested. Charges are pending. A 23 year old female passenger and infant in the Impala were treated and released from the hospital.
