Three passengers were also killed in the crash. Officials identified them as 27-year-old Robert D. Hall of Clayton, 24-year-old Quamay R. Richardson of Clayton, and a 17-year-old juvenile whose name has not been released.

According to investigators, both Russaw and Hall, along with the juvenile passenger, were not wearing seat belts and were ejected during the crash. Richardson was not ejected but also died at the scene.
