State troopers said Thursday that the drivers of a black Chevrolet SUV and a blue Dodge Neon were arrested for vehicular homicide and a warrant for blood was obtained for both people.
Several people were trapped in cars when aid arrived.
The state patrol said 23-year-old Andrea Dickey of Centralia, a passenger in the blue sedan, died at the scene.
One person was taken to the hospital in critical condition while two others were listed in serious condition. The two remaining people had minor injuries.
