Authorities Sunday continued their investigation into the circumstances surrounding a vehicle crash on the Santa Ana (5) Freeway in Fullerton that killed two people, including a toddler and injured at least three others.

The crash was first reported to the California Highway Patrol at 7:11 p.m. Saturday on the northbound 5 Freeway just north of Magnolia Avenue.

Witnesses told the CHP a white SUV was being driven recklessly before the collision with a dark-colored SUV, which caused both vehicles to roll over and caused the white SUV to go over a guardrail.

One person was pronounced dead at the scene and four trauma patients were taken by ambulance to hospitals, Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Sean Doran told City News Service.

The second fatality was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Anyone with any information regarding the crash was urged to call Orange County Crime Stoppers at 855-847-6227.
