One person suffered major injuries and a dog was also killed which was in one of the vehicles.

Both vehicles also acquired major damage.

An active investigation is underway.

Although crashes involving wrong-way driving account for only 3% of motor vehicle accidents, they usually have a higher fatality rate as they are often head-on collisions. 

A study in Virginia concluded that those accidents which include wrong-way driving are twenty-seven times more likely to end in a fatality compared to other types of accidents
