The California Highway Patrol said the victims were in a Toyota Camry heading east at a high rate of speed about 10:45 a.m. when it veered across traffic and struck the center divider twice.

Five young men were in the vehicle when it swerved across lanes and slammed into a concrete divider, ejecting three of them onto the freeway. The California Highway Patrol said the 10:45 a.m. crash involved excessive speed, but that it was unclear so far whether the driver was speeding to catch up with others or racing.
