Emergency medical personnel responded and declared an unknown female driver and two unknown female passengers from the Corolla dead at the scene. The drivers of the Freightliner, Acura and Ram sustained minor injuries.
The crash remains under investigation. Officials ask anyone with information to call the San Bernardino highway patrol office at 909-383-4247.
