Three people in the Impala were injured, but Stone said none of those injuries was life-threatening.<br /> <br /> Stone said all of those involved were wearing their seat belts.<br /> <br /> She said no charges will be filed, since the at-fault driver died in the crash.<br /> <br /> The fatal accident occurred around 11:30 a.m. Thursday.
