According to officials, a 32-year-old man and a 25-year-old man were in a Mazda going along I-20.

Sometime after this, a second vehicle hit a portion of the guardrail reportedly in the lanes of travel following the initial collision.

Authorities allege that both vehicles were unoccupied when they arrived on the scene. They say they located the driver and passenger of the Mazda, who had apparently serious and moderate injuries, respectively. Alcohol was mentioned as a factor, but those details can be confirmed right now.
