Pead lost control of his vehicle and drove off the side of the freeway. His car crashed through a guard rail and down an embankment, hitting several trees as it careened down the hill. Pead was transported to an area hospital and underwent surgery, and now rests in critical condition.

Wesley Richardson was a passenger in the vehicle and was ejected during the crash, though he has been listed in stable condition.
