According to Sheriff James Vincent, a Dodge Ram pickup driven by James Steen, age 73 from Bowling Green, that was headed south on HWY 101 had slowed down to allow someone in front of him to turn. A Ford F150 driven by Carlie Spear, age 20, from Brownsville was also headed south behind the Ram and could not stop, striking the Ram from the rear.  

The Ram was then pushed into the northbound lane of traffic where it struck a 2015 Toyota Tacoma pickup, head on, driven by Sean Martin, age 39 of Smiths Grove. Martin's vehicle also occupied a female juvenile passenger in a car seat who suffered superficial wounds. The juvenile was transported to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries. She and Mr. Martin were treated and released.

Responding to the scene were the Chalybeate, Brownsville, and Wingfield Fire Departments, Edmonson EMS, and the Sheriff's Office.
