This morning, a semi-truck crashed into an SUV that was carrying 25 people on a Southern California highway near the Mexican border. 13 people were killed and others were injured in the two-vehicle accident.
A vehicle was traveling westbound on Norrish Road near State Route 115 when it traveled “in the direct path” of a semi-truck traveling northbound on 115. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
California Highway Patrol Chief Omar Watson said 12 people died at the scene, which is about 11 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, and another died after arriving at the hospital. Hospital officials earlier reported there were 15 killed and more people in the SUV.
