INCIDENT DATE/TIME: 2-26-25 12:50 a.m.
LOCATION: EB 91 Freeway / Coal Canyon
AREA/CITY: Yorba Linda
DETAILS:

YORBA LINDA- Three people were killed in a fiery crash today
involving four vehicles that closed multiple lanes of the Riverside (91)
Freeway in Anaheim Hills.
California Highway Patrol officers were called to the eastbound
freeway and the Coal Canyon Road off-ramp around 12:50 a.m. Wednesday and found
the victims and the vehicles, CHP Officer Sergio Rivera said.
An Infiniti sedan was stopped in the No. 2 lane of the freeway for an
unknown reason, causing a Honda to also stop before a Hyundai slammed into the rear of the Honda, which burst into flames, killing the three occupants, Rivera said. A Toyota passing by also sustained some minor damage, he added. The other drivers complained of pain, but otherwise there were no other serious injuries besides the three who were killed.
It will take time for investigators to confirm the identities of those
killed in the Honda, Rivera said.
The CHP issued a Sigalert that closed all lanes of the 91 Freeway for
several hours while they investigated the cause of the crash.
