Troopers say the Malibu’s driver was not wearing a seat belt and was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.

The driver of the Ecosport was hospitalized in critical condition.

Westbound S.R. 201 was closed for several hours while investigators were on scene. Alcohol impairment is being investigated in the case of the wrong-way vehicle.
