Crash scene
What we know:
The complaint goes on to say that officers saw a vehicle, a Red Lexus IS, in the northbound lanes with severe front-end damage. All airbags had deployed. First responders extricated the driver, Ace Vue, out of the vehicle and took him to the hospital for treatment of serious injuries.
The other vehicle, a blue Ford Escape, was in the median. It also had substantial, "devastating" damage. The passenger had already died, and the driver died before first responders could remove them from the vehicle. The rear-seat passenger was extricated and taken to the hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries.
A witness told authorities that he was traveling north on I-43 when he saw the red Lexus drive past him going southbound in the other lane, and then continued to drive southbound in between the lanes, when it crashed into the blue Ford. The witness said the Ford attempted to swerve out of the way, but was unsuccessful.
