An early-morning crash on the 10 Freeway resulted in three fatalities and one individual being hospitalized with severe injuries, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). The incident occurred on Saturday morning in Baldwin Park when a vehicle evading police collided with a concrete wall.

The driver, suspected of driving under the influence, was operating a 2011 Toyota Corolla. He, along with two passengers, died as a result of the crash near Francisquito Avenue and the 10 Freeway. CHP reported that the driver fled from officers who had attempted to stop him for unsafe driving. The chase ended when the driver lost control at the Francisquito Avenue off-ramp and hit a wall.

Authorities confirmed the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The two passengers succumbed to their injuries at nearby hospitals. A fourth person involved in the crash was taken to the hospital with what police described as ‘major injuries.’

Details about the identities of the deceased have not been disclosed by police, except that one of them was a 20-year-old man. A CHP spokesman did not immediately respond to further inquiries about the incident.
