Details suggest that 21-year-old Mikyiel Trayvonne Brooks was the driver of a Ford Mustang that had been going southbound along the interstate. Somehow, it appears that a 2015 Maroon Chevy Silverado rear-ended Brooks, causing Brooks’s vehicle to then crash into a barrier.

As a result of the accident, Brooks apparently had incapacitating injuries. Officials say that Brooks succumbed to those injuries on May 10. Two people from the Silverado who have not been publicly identified apparently left the scene of the accident. It’s unclear at this time if authorities have identified or charges those individuals.
