The driver and two backseat passengers were ejected from the vehicle. No one was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, and all three were taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
One person is still in the hospital.
ALE agents found that the driver, 20-year-old Jeremy Thompson Jr., bought alcohol using a fake ID and gave it to other underage individuals at a house party. 20-year-old Hannah Carpenter hosted the party. Her father, Blair Carpenter, was home and allowed the house party to happen.
Prior to the crash, Thompson Jr. was reportedly driving recklessly and doing donuts at the intersection close to the party.
