Default Three occupants?
This happened here in my town of Irvine, CA.

Be careful out there!

Very sad. My guess, alcohol + speed.

Five'll get you ten you're spot on.

We have seen a real uptick in fatal crashes of late. Most of them late at night when things tend to be a little more alcohol tainted.

Sad - lots of fatal accidents in that general area.

I used have an apartment near where this one happened. I work a few miles from there.

Shame. Condolences to the families.

it surely seems to be exaggerated of late. One of my colleagues was tight with the young folks killed on Michelson a few weeks ago in a fiery 2-car crash. Such a bummer to see young lives sniffed out over a mistake we've likely all been pretty close to making more once.

Sad.. I was going to write something pithy. But I'm really tired of snark.

Sorry for all the families involved.
