The crash appeared to be a head-on collision between a mid-late 2000s model Ford sedan and an early 2000s Chrysler. Airbags in both vehicles did deploy.

Alton Police officers said each vehicle contained only one occupant at the time of the crash, but could not describe their injuries, nor could they comment on the cause of the crash at this time.
