Multi-Vehicle Collision Investigation is Underway

The California Highway Patrol is actively attempting to determine the cause and the circumstances that led to the multi-vehicle collision.

According to the statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 3,304 fatal car accidents in California in 2017. These types of accidents are caused by a variety of reasons, such as distracted driving, drunk driving, and driver over-fatigue.
