Two 21-year-old men were involved in a motor vehicle collision after being seen leaving a house party together in the same vehicle. The men were not wearing seatbelts, and both were ejected during a rollover collision that followed the loss of control of the speeding vehicle around a bend in the road. Both men were legally intoxicated with ethanol. The victim in the photograph has multiple dicing injuries on his face.
