Today's picture perfect afternoon here in the OC has turned into a total nightmare in the enclave of Newport Beach.
Three people are dead, another is fighting for their life, and two others are being treated at local OC hospitals after a massive 10-car pile up took place at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Riverside. I just saw some of the images on Eyewitness News here in So Cal and frankly I am stunned that more people didn't get killed.
This has to be one of the most horrific car accidents Newport Beach has seen in a long, long time, if not ever.
Witnesses are still in shock. The entire area of PCH will be closed for many hours between Tustin Avenue and Newport Boulevard.

As soon as the names are released of those involved in the crash by either the Newport Beach Fire Department or the Orange County Coroner I will update my blog.
Be careful.
Not sure if drugs or alcohol played a factor, or any other circumstances at this time, keep you posted and keep the victims in your thoughts and Prayers tonight!

I got stuck in the traffic jam. This was the WORST accident scene I have EVER SEEN in my 63 years on the earth. My heart goes out to those killed and injured.
I live less than 4 blocks from this crash. So so upsetting to see this happen. Still shaking.
Holy sh*t. Just a few months ago we had that horrible plane crash here in the Back Bay area that killed three people. Now this. Just awful.
saw the accident on my way to birthday dinner at Joes Crab Shack. Heard from various waiters that accident was due to drunk driving :(
I was having a late lunch right near the scene, and it was HORRIFIC
My husband and I were about four cars back from the accident. He decided to make out (which was unusual) in the car prior to leaving the restaurant we just had lunch at. A few minutes and it could of been us!
It was very very quiet. No police yet, no fire trucks, just people moving in shock, speechless. One man was walking down the street puking. I am still disturbed over it! I am also just obsessed with knowing what happened. Maybe the girl was ill? maybe the car malfunctioned?? none the less it was a very very bad day for many many people. I heard someone saying they were walking across the street to the yachts for a wedding. I cant even imagine...
What's worse in an accident is when it claims lives. It's sad to think that car accidents can be avoided if only safety precautions were applied.
Car accidents can cause extensive personal injuries and property damage. There are several causes of car accidents, but reckless teenage drivers are a main cause of car accidents.
My condolences go out to the families of the 3 victims. I thought I'd share www.deathletters.org as well for grieving families. It gets easier when you talk with someone else who is going through the same ordeal.
Аn outѕtanԁing share! I've just forwarded this onto a coworker who had been conducting a little homework on this. And he in fact ordered me breakfast because I stumbled upon it for him... lol. So allow me to reword this.... Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending some time to talk about this subject here on your blog.
