OCOTILLO WELLS, Calif., Nov. 14 (UPI) Police Sunday sought a car that may have triggered a collision that killed five people on a rural Southern California highway.
The California Highway Patrol wanted to speak to the driver of a gold Honda Accord that left the scene of a collision between another car and seven motorcycles on Route 98 in the Imperial County desert east of San Diego, KUSI-TV, San Diego, reported.
The Accord reportedly tried to pass the motorcycles, which forced an oncoming Dodge Avenger to swerve into the path of the bikers.
Four of the riders were killed and five were injured. A passenger in the Dodge also died.
KUSI said the driver of Dodge, a resident of Mexicali, Mexico, was arrested at the scene after an officer smelled alcohol on his breath.
The Los Angeles Times said the motorcyclists were members of the Saddle Tramps, a San Diego County club that was marking its 10th anniversary with a ride along the desert highway 80 miles east of San Diego.
