Exactly what led up to the crash, which happened a little before 4:30 a.m., is unclear. The car ended up hitting a fence and then a tree.
Two people were killed in the crash, California Highway Patrol says. One was the driver, identified by the Sacramento County Coroner as 21-year-old Essence Ntchampo. The other was 33-year-old Trayvon Winton of Vallejo. One other person, who was thrown from the vehicle, was taken to the hospital with major but non-life threatening injuries.
The names of the people killed have not been released at this point.
