Police say a total of four people were in the car at the time of the crash. The three survivors were transported to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.

Modesto PD is currently investigating and believes speed may have been a factor in the crash due to eye-witness reports of the vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed.
