The speeding Charger hit the van as the driver attempted the left turn, causing the van to flip over.
The 70-year-old man driving the van was transported to a local hospital and is in critical condition. A female passenger in the van was also transported to a local hospital, but pronounced deceased.
One of the racing drivers was transported to the hospital with minor injuries. Both drivers, a 27-year-old male and 29-year-old male, were arrested and booked into jail on two felony charges: Racing causing a Death and Racing causing Serious Bodily Injury.
