Downey, CA : 4 killed in fatal crash in Downey on Friday, 23rd June 2023

Four people were killed in a grisly and explosive crash on the I-5 Freeway in Downey early Saturday morning.

California Highway Patrol officers were first dispatched to the scene of the crash, which happened at around 2:30 a.m.

Authorities believe that the crash happened after the driver of a Dodge Challenger lost control of their vehicle for an unknown reason and hit a guard rail on the side of the freeway before slamming into the wall beneath the Lemonran Avenue pedestrian bridge.

The force of the collision "caused the vehicle to split in two, subsequently ejecting the two rear passengers onto the right shoulder," said a statement from California Highway Patrol.
