The Police said, Joy Chumos, age 32, died at the scene of the crash, and the other three in the vehicle were seriously injured and brought to the hospital. The driver was 37-year-old Metrick Jenkins, the other passengers were Julie Edwards who was 47 years old, and Carla Chiles, age 49.

From news source kcci, “One woman suffered multiple fractures and one woman is undergoing surgery, according to police.”
