Two people and a dog were killed in a possible DUI three-vehicle crash on State Route 76 in Oceanside Friday night.
The crash happened at around 7:30 p.m. near the intersection of SR-76 and Canyon Drive, according to the Oceanside Police Department.
A gray Mercedes sedan was heading north on Canyon Drive when it ran a red light and was broadsided by a U-Haul utility truck heading east on SR-76. Due to the force of the crash, the vehicles then collided with a white Kia sedan that was in the left turn lane of westbound SR-76.
Both people in the Mercedes were pronounced deceased on the scene, police said. The drivers of the U-Haul and Kia were treated for minor injuries and released.
