Two people were killed when a Jeep collided with a tree and caught fire in Orange County during the early morning hours Monday.<\/p>\n

The single-vehicle crash was reported just after 12:30 a.m. near Katella Avenue and Douglass Road, just outside the OC Vibe parking structure and the Ayres Hotel Anaheim.<\/p>\n

Arriving first responders found a green Jeep Liberty engulfed in flames and quickly extinguished the fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe found two people deceased inside the vehicle,\u201d Anaheim Police Department Sgt. Sutter told KTLA\u2019s Jacqueline Sarkissian at the scene. No information regarding the victims\u2019 identities has been released.<\/p>\n

Two people were killed when a Jeep collided with a tree and caught fire in Anaheim on April 13, 2026. (OC Hawk)<\/p>\n

It was unclear what caused the driver to lose control of the Jeep. Sutter said no other vehicles were involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not a police pursuit or anything like that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The intersection remained closed Monday morning as police continued their investigation.<\/p>\n
