Three people were killed and another was injured Thursday when a vehicle crashed over the side of the Santa Ana (5) Freeway in Anaheim.<\/p>\n
The wreck happened around 3:15 a.m. Thursday at the southbound Lincoln Avenue off-ramp of the 5 Freeway, according to the California Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n
The driver of a Ford Edge southbound on the freeway veered off the road for an unknown reason south of Euclid Street, according to the CHP. The SUV slammed into a guardrail and a concrete pillar before careening down a sloped concrete embankment and overturning before finally ending up in brush.<\/p>\n
Two people in the vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene and two others were rushed to an area hospital where one was later pronounced dead, the CHP said.<\/p>\n
Investigators say it appears none of the occupants was wearing seat belts, according to the CHP.<\/p>\n
Neither the names nor descriptions of the deceased were immediately released.<\/p>\n
According to a CHP incident log, a witness reported that the driver of a white SUV appeared to miss the off-ramp and lost control while making a late attempt to take the exit.<\/p>\n
The vehicle flew over the side at high speed and two victims were ejected, according to the log.<\/p>\n
The crash closed the off-ramp and four main lanes of the freeway, but two right lanes were reopened and a SigAlert was issued about 5 a.m.<\/p>\n
All lanes were reopened about 8 a.m., according to the CHP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three people were killed and another was injured Thursday when a vehicle crashed over the side of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":452750,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164,350,2790,5154,11834,11837],"class_list":["post-452749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-crash","tag-dead","tag-freeway","tag-injured","tag-three"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=452749"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452749\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/452750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=452749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=452749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=452749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
