Two motorists were killed Friday in a collision involving a wrong-way driver on Interstate 5 in Oceanside.
A Toyota 4 Runner headed north in the southbound lanes slammed into a Toyota Camry near Mission Avenue around 2 a.m. and one of the vehicles then caught fire, according press reports and the California Highway Patrol.
One of the drivers, a woman whose name has yet to be made public, was found unresponsive in the roadway, according to the CHP.
Three non-injury crashes occurred in the area following the initial collision, according to the CHP.
The crashes prompted authorities to close the southbound freeway in the area for a time and issue a SigAlert, but the lanes have since been reopened.
