BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 Three people were killed, and three others were hurt in a fiery three-vehicle wrong-way crash north of Bakersfield early Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

The crash happened around 12:45 a.m. on Highway 99, near 7th Standard Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The California Highway Patrol said the crash involved a 2022 Honda Accord, a white 2019 BMW 530i, and a white 2022 Chevrolet Colorado. At the time of the crash, it was unknown which vehicle was traveling the wrong way.<\/p>\n

CHP says the Honda immediately became engulfed in flames, killing all three occupants.<\/p>\n

The driver of the BMW was severely injured, while two people in the Chevy suffered only minor injuries.<\/p>\n

It was later learned that the Honda was returning from Fresno, where a mother took her two daughters to a concert.<\/p>\n

The trip was to celebrate one of their 17th birthday.<\/p>\n

A GoFundMe fundraiser said, “On Sunday, August 16, an unimaginable tragedy changed one family’s life forever. Vanessa and her daughters, Kloie and Kylie, were traveling home from Fresno after attending a concert together to celebrate Kloie’s upcoming 17th birthday on August 20.”<\/p>\n

On their way home, their vehicle was struck head-on by a car traveling the wrong direction at a high rate of speed on Highway 99.<\/p>\n

“Vanessa, Kloie, and Kylie tragically lost their lives,” the post said.<\/p>\n
