According to the California Highway Patrol, the big rig semi-truck accident caused fatalities including the truck driver. Four others also suffered serious injuries and were taken to nearby hospitals.

It appears that a smaller compact car may have caused the semi truck to crash. All the passengers of the car were unharmed. The driver of the semi was not able to escape in time and died at the scene.

Fire Chief Dominguez stated that the big rig truck was loaded with frozen meats and apparently jackknifed and flipped over after striking the freeway guard safety rail. The fire chief also stated that they weren’t sure if the accident happened before or after the crash with a passenger vehicle.
