10 Car Pile Up Kills 3 People

A ten-car pileup in Los Angeles took the lives of three people and injured several more. The Pacific Coast Highway in Orange County was shut down for ten hours as a result of the massive accident that is believed to have been caused by a Ford Taurus driving too fast.

The driver of the vehicle, 27-year-old Julia Allen, was killed on the scene. Investigators determined that her Taurus went airborne, flying into the opposite lane and hitting a white Ford Taurus, a Toyota Prius and a Toyota Tacoma pickup. The other two victims of this accident were Linda Burnett, 69, and Christopher De La Cruz, 49.

There were three more people injured that evening, including a motorcycle rider who was last listed in critical condition. However, all three are expected to live.

It was such a terrible scene that people were trapped in their cars for hours and even the dead could not be removed until emergency personnel were able to access their bodies.
