The front of the van collided with the driver's side of a Dodge pickup truck traveling northbound across Q Street on 153rd Street. The force of the crash made the pickup then hit a Lincoln MKZ, driven by Haizhen Zhong.

The driver of the pickup, Carrie Vanschoiack collided "head on" into a wooden utility pole. Nelson has to be extricated from his van.
