The CHP identified one car as a Toyota that had flipped over completely in the brush, while another vehicle – a Mitsubishi – was lying on its side against the dirt beside it.
As of yet, authorities have not released any further information about the deceased victims involved; however, officials at the scene confirmed that five individuals perished as a result of this fatal collision.
