According to CHP officer Rodrigo Jimenez, officials began receiving calls from witnesses regarding a wrong-way driver traveling in a Chevrolet Camaro on the 57 Freeway.
Shortly after, additional calls came in regarding the wrong-way driver traveling within the westbound lanes of the 60 Freeway.
That's when, Jimenez says, the Chevrolet Camaro struck a red Ford Explorer and then subsequently struck a gray Ford Freestyle near the Phillips Ranch Road exit around 4:40 a.m. All lanes near the exit were shut following the accident.
The video in the article below, shows the Explorer, after they have removed the Camaro from behind and underneath the Explorer.
"Unfortunately, it crashed with a Ford Explorer, proceeded and crashed with a Ford Freestyle," said Jimenez. "We received additional calls after the collision of the parties that were ejected. We responded quickly and tried to get here as soon as we can to prevent more collisions from occurring."
The Ford Explorer was cut in half. The Ford Freestyle was also heavily damaged.
Five females, two who were 24-years-old, and a 47-year-old man were pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner has not yet released the identities of the victims who were killed.
