Preliminary investigations suggest that the tractor-trailer was traveling north on Knight Drive and the Impala was heading west on Ewing Drive. Evidence indicates that the Impala did not stop at the stop sign and attempted to turn left onto Knight Drive, leading to the collision with the tractor-trailer. The impact struck the driver’s side of the Impala, necessitating the extrication of Frazer, who later died at Skyline Medical Center. The truck driver, aged 61, was not injured.
No signs of impairment were found at the scene for either driver, and no charges are expected from this fatal crash.
