The crash resulted in the death of one of the passengers in the Nissan. The teenage driver and the other passenger sustained injuries, though their current conditions remain undisclosed. Meanwhile, the occupants of the Hummer, including two adults and a four-year-old child, emerged from the incident unharmed.
