The accident occurred Wednesday morning about 2:45 a.m. when a Ford Escape allegedly driven by Bunn went the wrong way on the eastbound lanes of US 36 and slammed head-on into an Acura coupe between Wadsworth Parkway and Sheridan Boulevard.

Bunn’s passenger, 25-year-old Vincent Gibson, was pronounced dead at the scene. Three other victims were also taken to local hospitals for treatment.

That portion of US 36 is under construction, but the initial investigation does not indicate that it was a factor in the crash, police said.

Drugs or alcohol are suspected as being factors in the crash, Westminster police said.
