"The person claims there was another car that cut her off. Investigators are looking into if there was another car, if it exists and other factors that played a role into the accident," said police spokeswoman Vivian Tahayer.
The injured people were taken to the hospital.
Plazqiz, who is visiting from Spain, said the accident was unlike anything she's ever seen.
"I am from a very small village, there are less than 1000 people, this is not normal for us," said Plazqiz.
