The Sequoia continued northbound and went off the roadway striking a tree at 7300 4th Street North. Both Zhuang and a 74 year-old male passenger in the Sequoia suffered critical injuries. A second passenger, a 70 year-old female suffered minor injuries.
The driver of the Odyssey was not injured. The driver of the Sentra suffered minor injuries.
