The preliminary crash investigation revealed that Devin Majors, 17,... The Malibu traveled off the west side of the road, Majors overcorrected, causing the car to travel across County Road 500 West and off the east side of the road. The Malibu then hit a tree, broadside, in the driver’s side door. A 14-year-old male passenger allegedly fled from the crash scene on foot. The crash impact, on the driver’s door, was too severe to prevent the fatal injuries to Majors.
