Overview
- A northbound BMW M4 crossed the concrete divider into southbound lanes near Winchester Road late Saturday and struck a Nissan Sentra, igniting the BMW.
- Three BMW passengers — a 23-year-old woman and two teenagers, 14 and 15, all from Moreno Valley — were pronounced dead at the scene.
- The Nissan driver, a 35-year-old man from Wildomar, died en route to a hospital, and a 22-year-old passenger was hospitalized in critical condition.
- Good Samaritans pulled the 25-year-old BMW driver from the burning car; he sustained major injuries and was taken to Inland Valley Medical Center.
- Investigators say alcohol is not believed to be a factor, charges for the BMW driver are pending, and witnesses are urged to contact the Temecula-area CHP; a locally reported account names former NFL player Glenn Cadrez as the rescuer, which officials have not confirmed.
