El CENTRO, California: A semitruck on Tuesday crashed into an SUV carrying 25 people on a Southern California highway, killing 13 and leaving others injured, authorities said.
It's unclear if the SUV had stopped at a stop sign before crossing into the path of the semitruck around 6.15am, Watson said. The truck struck the left side of the SUV, which appeared to have been pushed off the road. He said numerous people were ejected. The SUV was a Ford Expedition that would typically seat eight to nine people legally.Multiple people from the SUV were flown or sent to hospitals for injuries that included fractures and head trauma. Four were flown to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, where is in critical condition and the others are stable, spokesman Todd Burke said. The truck driver was hospitalised with moderate injuries.
“It was an unusual number of people in an SUV, but we don’t know who they were,” Mora said, adding that they could have been farmworkers.
