The back half of the car flew north across the median and came to rest north of the Hwy 90 service drive. The front half of the Impala skidded to rest in the sand median. Police say the driver was thrown from the vehicle.

Cooke was taken to the hospital where he underwent surgery for his injuries, but the medical team was not able to save him.
