BENICIA (CBS SF)— Three elderly people have died in a car crash on an off-ramp of northbound Interstate Highway 680 in Benicia Tuesday afternoon, according to a California Highway Patrol spokesman.
The crash was reported around 3:40 p.m. on the Lake Herman Road off-ramp from northbound Highway 680, CHP Officer Rick Weaver said.
Weaver said a Kia Spectra containing the elderly victims had a minor fender bender with another car headed the same direction. Both vehicles were going to take the Lake Herman Road off-ramp when they collided, Weaver said.
KCBS Traffic reporters said the Kia continued off the interstate after the collision and rolled several times onto the grassy area alongside the off-ramp, before landing on its wheels.
