The crash was reported at approximately 9:20 p.m. According to reports, both vehicles went off the highway. The force of the crash sent the man’s van spinning around until it collided sideways with a tree. Two lanes were closed as Highway Patrol and medical rescue units responded to the crash. The drivers of each car were hospitalized.
