Jazmin Dietrich of York died at Reading Hospital the same day as the crash, according to state police in Lancaster.
The crash happened on PA Route 222 North just north of Dry Tavern Road in Brecknock Township at 8:33 a.m. on March 30, investigating Trooper Joshua Mease detailed in the release.
Jazmin was wearing a seatbelt in front passenger's seat of a BMW driven by 51-year-old William De La Cruz of York when the vehicle experienced an unknown mechanical failure, slowing down in the left lane, Mease explained. That's when 31-year-old Jesus Barrera's Porsche SUV rear-ended the BMW; both vehicles suffered "major damage," Mease said.
Immediately after this crash, 25-year-old Shane Wright of Ephrata struck the Porsche with his Nissan SUV, according Mease.
Wright, his passenger, De La Cruz, and Barrera all suffered "moderate injuries" and were also taken to Reading Hospital, PSP stated in the release.
The roadway was closed for over five hours and the investigation is ongoing.
Any witnesses or anyone with information about this deadly crash is asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Police at 717-299-7650.
