Two Die in Fiery Wreck

A car traveling northbound on El Camino Real hit the center median Sunday, causing the driver to lose control.  The car slammed into a light pole, rolled and burst into flames, killing the occupants, police said.

The green 2001 Lexus crashed early Sunday morning on El Camino Real just north of the SR-76 overpass, in Oceanside.

When police and firefighters arrived they found the car on its roof engulfed  in flames. Once they knocked down the flames, they found the two bodies inside. The northbound lanes of El Camino Real were closed at the SR-76 overpass until about 10:00 A.M.

The names of the victims have not been released.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Officer Joe Torres at (760) 435-4930.
