According to authorities, Acosta was trapped in her vehicle and was extricated by firefighters. She was transported to MidState Medical Center and was later pronounced dead. Reyes suffered minor injuries in the crash and refused medical care.
After a thorough investigation, police said it was determined that Acosta was traveling west on Main Street and made a left turn into the driveway of her home. It is believed that Reyes was also traveling west at over 80 miles per hour in the same area, came up behind Acosta and hit her driver's side door as she made the turn.
Police said Reyes was attempting to pass Acosta and was in the eastbound lane when he hit Acosta's car. Investigators said the speed limit for Main Street is 30 miles per hour.
