Police say Cole was a passenger in a 2008 Nissan traveling Northbound on Verree Road, when it slammed into a 2002 Dodge going Southbound on Verree Road, and attempting to turn onto Bloomfield Avenue. The impact from the crash flipped the Nissan onto its roof, ejecting Cole and a 23 year-year old passenger from the car in the process. The vehicle also caught fire.

Two other men were taken to the hospital, and are still in critical condition. The 66-year old driver of the Dodge was last reported to be in stable condition.
