Jackson Gragg, who was driving a white vehicle involved in the accident, died at the scene, Hethcoat said.

Billy Ray, the 81-year-old driver of a red vehicle involved in the accident, was taken in a personal vehicle to a nearby hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, Hethcoat said.

Two passengers were also involved in the wreck; Sharon Ray, 80, suffered serious injuries, and Chance McKinney, 28, suffered life-threatening injuries. Both were taken by ground ambulance to area hospitals, Hethcoat wrote.

The crash was still under investigation as of 1 p.m. Friday, and no further information was available.
