Type: Truck vs. auto accident, police chase

Outcome: 7 people killed, including four children

The California Highway Patrol reported that a car fleeing a routine traffic stop struck a pickup truck, killing three people in the car and four young children in the truck.  The accident happened in Dinuba, CA, just southeast of Fresno, when the police tried to stop the car for folling through a stop sign.  The adults in the truck were identified as Carlos Salazar, Jr. and Jennifer Salazar of Orange Cove, CA.  They were travelling with their fifth children.  Four of the children were ejected and died at the scene.  The fifth child was taken to a hospital with his parents.  The three men in the car being chased were killed.

This is a tragic accident and we wish the best to the Salazar family.  Unfortunately, the men in the car will not be held accountable for their reckless actions.
