Hull was pronounced dead at the scene.
Whitebird and four passengers in her car were transported to area hospitals for treatment of injuries. The passengers included 19-year-old Marlin Banks of Horton, 12-year-old Madison Thomas of Mayetta, 19-year-old Nadas Thomas of Mayetta and 13-year-old Tyran Banks of Horton.
