An investigation revealed that the pair had been heading north on First Ave in a BMW SUV when they collided with a parked and unoccupied Honda SUV. The 44-year-old was driving and the 29-year-old was in the passenger seat.

The collision caused the BMW to strike the outdoor dining structure at The Sefton, located at 1373 First Avenue.
