Five People Killed in Fiery Car Crash on 710 Freeway
Early Monday morning, a car crashed into an attenuator and burst into flames on the 710 Freeway in the Long Beach area. The accident resulted in five fatalities, according to authorities.
The crash occurred around 4 a.m. near the 91 Freeway interchange when the driver of a Hyundai Sonata appeared to be speeding and slammed into barriers causing major damage to the vehicle followed by an explosion.
"Our officers along with the fire department responded to the scene and determined this crash to be a solo crash resulting in five deceased parties," said CHP Officer Angelia Gonzales.
Very little information about those who died was available early Monday afternoon. However, one male survivor was transported to a local hospital with significant injuries.
The accident forced several lanes of the 710 Freeway to close for roughly six hours while authorities investigated its cause. "We ask that all witnesses come forward," said Gonzales.
As of now, it is unclear what caused this tragic incident. Authorities are continuing their investigation into what led up to this deadly collision.
