Highway 50 crash kills three people, including 1-year-old girl
Three people, including a 1-year-old girl, were killed Tuesday after their vehicle spun out and crashed during a period of heavy rain in Camino (El Dorado County), authorities said.
The collision occurred about 6:30 p.m. on Highway 50 near Camino Drive, according to the California Highway Patrol.
A 51-year-old Fremont man driving 60 mph westbound on Highway 50 lost control of a 2005 Volvo S60.
Due to the heavy rain and the speed, the driver spun out and drove into the eastbound lanes of traffic, the CHP said. The Volvo collided with a 2017 Subaru Impreza, which was driving 65 mph.
The impact caused the driver of the Volvo and a 1-year-old girl sitting in the backseat to be ejected from their seats.
