Investigators say Nelson’s vehicle was traveling through the intersection when it struck another car. That car then hit a tractor-trailer.

A woman in the second car died at the scene. A 23-year-old woman also in the car was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.

The tractor-trailer driver suffered minor injuries.

Taylor says impairment and speed have not been ruled out as factors in the crash.
