    Four Die In Horrific Crash As SUV Careens Off Carinquez Bridge: Kyle Erickson (19), Christopher Mata (21), Cecilia Ayala (22), & Perla Navarro, 19

    VALLEJO (CBS SF) ? Four people were killed Tuesday evening when the vehicle they were in careened off the Carinquez Bridge near the toll plaza, crashing onto a stationary freight train located on tracks 200 feet below the structure, authorities said.

    The California Highway Patrol Officer Miguel Camarena said his agency began to get 911 calls at around 8:40 p.m. reporting that a vehicle had gone off the bridge.


    ?According to several callers an Infinity SUV went over a concrete wall that is part of the bridge on eastbound 80,? Camarena said. ?As it went over it subsequently collided with a stationary train.?

    Arriving officers came upon a horrific scene as they discovered the crumpled vehicle had come to rest in an industrial yard near the dented railroad car on the tracks. There were four young victims inside.

    All four victims ? two men and two women ? were in their late teens or early 20s and declared dead at the scene. Their identities were not immediately available.

    No one was on the freight train at the time of the crash.

    The CHP said it was investigating the crash and did not know why the driver lost control of the Infinity SUV as it traveled in the eastbound Interstate Highway 80.

    ?We believe the vehicle was (traveling) in the slow lane based on the way the road is curve at that location,? Camarena said.

    It was not immediately known if drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.

    An SUV spun out of control and went over a barrier on the Carquinez Bridge in Northern California on Tuesday night, plummeting more than 200 feet and killing the driver and three passengers.

    Dashcam video from another vehicle shows the SUV driving at a high rate of speed on Interstate 80 toward the bridge in Crockett, near San Francisco, before losing control and spinning out, FOX 2 of the Bay Area reported. It then went over the side and fell on a parked freight train.

    The Contra Costa County coroner identified the victims as Kyle Erickson, 19; Christopher Mata, 21; Cecilia Ayala, 22; and Perla Navarro, 19, who was two months pregnant, according to FOX 2.

    'She was always very loving, warm, and nurturing,' Veronica Martinez, Navarro's mother, said, adding that Navarro had recently graduated from Golden Gate Community School. 'I'm not going to be able to talk to her or see her walk through the door, or hold my grandbaby.'

    The California Highway Patrol is handling the investigation and said it doesn't yet know what caused the crash.

    "We don't know if it was due to high speed or related to traffic issues,' CHP Officer David Harvey said.

    This is the third time a car has gone over the barrier near the bridge, according to FOX 2.

    Right? RIGHT?!

    This forum is a horrible trigger for obsessive thoughts.
    You are talking to a woman who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe.

    I usually don't have a reaction to crash videos and the like, but watching their SUV lose control and then knowing what happened next kind of made my stomach drop. I can only imagine how scared they were watching their vehicle fall and knowing they probably weren't going to survive. Has anyone said who was driving?

    Yeah, I kind of wish I hadn't watched that. I assumed they landed in water. This looked like a viaduct maybe? And this is the THIRD time someone has gone over the barrier there?!?
    How many deaths are acceptable? wtf....

    Don't know who was driving or who owned the car.

    As many as it takes until a politician or celebrity is killed there.
