Police officers responded to the scene at approximately 1:00 a.m., on April 18th.
According to reports, Lane, aged 66, was driving a Ford Mustang at a speed of 105 miles per hour in the vicinity. Subsequently, the speeding Mustang collided with a Nissan Frontier, operated by Diamond. The collision propelled the Nissan forward, causing it to overturn and collide with a nearby fence.
