I was there covering the accident (media). According to a witness we talked to, the car in two pieces was racing another car...possible a vette which according to the witness fled. We're waiting for a police statement...

From the first link....
"Update:
The freeway reopened at 9:30 a.m., more than four hours after the deadly accident.
Witnesses told authorities the crash may have been caused by street racing, although initial reports were that the victims in the Cadillac were not involved in the race.
We’re still awaiting IDs for those victims."

The red Cadillac is a full sized late model DeVille like mine, I recognize the bumper cover design. Did they die from the fires or impact? It must have been a hell of a hit if it was the impact, there's about 7 feet of car behind the front seats.
