UPDATE: Authorities Release Victim's Identities Of Budget Truck Crash On I-80

DAVIS (CBS13) – Three people are dead after a horrific crash involving a moving truck on eastbound Interstate 80 in Davis Friday morning.

According to Chief Deputy Coroner Robert Labrash of the Yolo County Sheriff's Department, the driver was 21-year-old Darius Austin Powe-Reed.

The two passengers in the vehicle were 20-year-old Zan Djavan Lockhart and 30-year-old Lavell Elmore.

The crash, first reported at 10:26 a.m. on Friday, happened in the eastbound lanes of I-80 at Richards Boulevard.

CHP says the driver of the Budget Rental truck attempted to change lanes into the path of another vehicle. The truck driver then over-corrected and lost control sending the truck off the freeway and slamming into a large tree.

Labrash said that Powe-Reed was wearing a seatbelt but the two passengers were not.

Three men inside the truck died in the accident.

The families have been notified and autopsies are scheduled for Monday.
