Police said the 62-year-old driver of the Camry died at the hospital. A 39-year-old woman riding in the back of the car was hospitalized for injuries to her back and neck. The RAV4 driver was treated at the scene.
Law enforcement sources said the driver of the Audi removed the license plates on the car before driving off from the scene. That driver was still being sought by police hours after the deadly crash.
