The car rolled two times, coming to rest on its wheels. Stevens was thrown out of the vehicle during the collision. He was not wearing a seatbelt.

Geary was transported by Eagle-Med to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas, in critical condition, suffering from head, trunk internal and external, arm and leg injuries. He died Saturday morning.
