An eastbound car and an eastbound pick-up both hit the car, and two other vehicles hit debris in the roadway, troopers say.

The person driving the charger was pronounced dead at the scene. The drivers of the car and pick-up were transported to local hospitals with moderate injuries. The drivers of the vehicles who hit debris weren't injured. The driver who died, and the pick-up truck driver weren't wearing seat belts. Everyone else was properly restrained, troopers say.

Toxicology samples were collected and submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.
