A devastating car fire early Tuesday morning resulted in the deaths of three individuals in Castaic. The Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) and California Highway Patrol (CHP) Newhall Division responded promptly to the incident.
The authorities were alerted by a passerby who reported a burning vehicle and expressed concerns that everyone inside might be dead. Upon arrival, officers discovered a sedan split in half and engulfed in flames. The LACoFD quickly extinguished the fire, but tragically, three people were declared deceased at the scene.
One individual was transported to a nearby hospital in an unknown condition.
CHP officers have closed the road to conduct a thorough investigation into the accident.
