Sgt. Bill Keller said the driver of a Chrysler was seen with his head thrown back as he careened for some five blocks along North Main Street before crashing.

Other witnesses reported the driver and a man in a Cadillac with whom he had collided were involved in a possible road-rage incident.

"We won't know until after the investigation," Keller said.

The drivers of the Chrysler and the Cadillac died in the multiple crashes despite the efforts of several bystanders.
