High-Speed Pickup Street Race Kills 1, Injures 6

Authorities are attempting to confirm a witness' account that a third pickup was involved in the street race.

At around 7:25pm, two pickup trucks that were allegedly racing drove through a red light. One of the trucks managed to avoid the crash and left the scene, but the other ended causing a five-vehicle pileup that killed a woman in her 70's as well as injured the driver and four others. The condition of the pickup truck driver that was involved in the crash is unknown, but the four others who were injured have already been treated and released. We will update this accident as more information is released.
