2 People Killed After Crashing Into Tree Off Eight Mile Road

STOCKTON (CBS13) - Two people died in a fiery crash on Eight Mile Road near Interstate 5, the California Highway Patrol said.

According to the CHP, a silver Infinity sedan was driving erratically on Eight Mile Road from I-5 and tried to pass traffic on the left, but lost control of the vehicle, crashing into a fence, light pole, and ultimately into a tree before bursting into flames.

CHP says two of the occupants in the vehicle died on the scene. A third occupant was able to escape the vehicle and was taken to an area hospital. Their identities have not yet been released, but officials say all of the occupants were male juveniles.

All eastbound lanes of Eight Mile Road in front of Oak Grove Park were closed for the investigation.
