Stratton said both vehicles sustained extensive damage.

“Both vehicles left the roadway and ended up in the northeast ditch area,” he said. “They both ended up way down in the ditch.”

There were no other occupants in the vehicles, Stratton said.

"[They were] very lucky," he said of the drivers. "This was high velocity."

Plainfield police are investigating the crash.
