The collision was reported around 5:54 a.m. near McCormick Ranch. The vehicles included a gray Lexus sedan, a black Nissan sedan, and a silver SUV.

What Makes Multi-Vehicle Crashes More Dangerous?
When several vehicles are involved, one collision can quickly lead to additional impacts. Drivers following too closely may have little time to stop when traffic suddenly slows.
Keeping a safe following distance gives motorists more time to react. Drivers should also scan beyond the vehicle directly ahead to spot stopped traffic or debris sooner.
Road debris can create another hazard for approaching motorists. Drivers should avoid sudden swerving and slow down when conditions allow.
Guardrails can also limit where a vehicle comes to rest after leaving its lane. Staying alert, maintaining a safe speed, and following traffic controls can help reduce the risk of serious collisions.
