The driver in the Hyundai was killed, as well as the three passengers who the CHP described as "juveniles."The scene showed mangled cars, fire trucks and officers with flashlights trying to determine the chain of events. The CHP closed all westbound lanes for nearly three hours and the scene was cleared just before 4 a.m.
