The two individuals in the sedan, a male driver and 63-year-old female passenger, suffered the most serious injuries. The man was airlifted to the hospital, and the woman was taken by ambulance. The two individuals in the pickup, a 39-year-old male driver and 60-year-old female passenger, were trapped in their vehicle and had to be rescued using the jaws of life. They were both taken to the hospital by ambulance as well. The two individuals in the third vehicle appeared the most fortunate.
