The weather and road conditions in the area at the time were reported to have been rainy and wet. This was likely the cause of a southbound Toyota Tundra occupied by a 29-year-old man going into a side skid and entering the northbound lane of the highway. This resulted in a T-bone collision between the front-end of the SUV and the passenger side of the pickup truck.

Both Harrison and the sole occupant of the pickup truck incurred fatal injuries as a result of the wreck. The man who had been behind the wheel of the Denali suffered apparently moderate injuries, as well. He was transported to a local medical facility by EMS in order to receive necessary treatment.

Additional details pertaining to this incident are not available at this point in time. The investigation is currently ongoing.
