“We don’t know exactly what happened,” said Officer Mark Reeves, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol. “Somebody could have cut them off. It’s under investigation.”
The incident happened at 4:45 p.m. when the Ford van, traveling about 65 mph, swerved and overturned just north of Nutwood Avenue. It struck a Toyota, propelling it over the freeway embankment.
