The Malibu failed to stay in a single lane, crossed the center left-turn lane and entered the westbound lanes driving against traffic and crashed into the Silverado for “unknown reasons,” according to the release. The occupants of the Silverado were transported to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Torres died at the scene.
