Big Rig Plows Into The Rear Of The Vehicle
MISSION VIEJO, May 4, 2007 (CNS) - Two 3-year-old girls died today and their mother, brother and grandmother were critically injured when a big rig plowed into the family's minivan on the San Diego (5) Freeway in Mission Viejo, authorities said.
The tractor-trailer rear-ended the van carrying the five family members about 1:10 p.m. on the southbound 5, north of Oso Parkway, said California Highway Patrol Officer Katrina Lundgren.
A GMC Yukon was also involved in the collision, but it was not immediately clear if anyone in the SUV or the truck was injured, she said.
An Orange County Fire Authority unit was nearby and quickly got to the accident scene, declaring the victims dead on-site at 1:15 p.m., Lundgren said.
The children's mother was airlifted to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana, she said.
The cause of the accident was not immediately known, Lundgren said. The investigation will be conducted by officers in the CHP's Capistrano office.
