According to the CHP, a silver Subaru WRX, a black Mercedes-Benz and a green Honda Accord collided. Details of how the crash occurred were not immediately available, but one of the cars caught fire.

It is vital to never operate a motor vehicle if you are under the influence of alcohol. Alcohol can greatly impair your motor skills, judgment, and reaction time. If you know you will be drinking, plan ahead by arranging a person to take you to your destination and back home. Do not risk your life and your future for a few drinks.
