The next offramp has been under construction for months and the freeway really narrows down there. I'm surprised there haven't been more accidents at that spot.MISSION VIEJO – As many as five people may have died, including a child, following a crash in which an SUV with a blown tire rolled down a hill on the southbound 5 freeway at La Paz Road this morning, authorities said.
The vehicle was fully engulfed in flames, the CHP said.
The CHP responded to calls about the overturned vehicle at 10:27 a.m.
Several people parked cars on the right shoulder and ran down the hill to help, the CHP said.
The SUV came to rest behind the Borders bookstore at the El Paseo shopping center.The coroner's office has responded. A SigAlert has been issued for the No. 4 lane.
UPDATE:
Reports indicate the vehicle was registered in Los Angeles.
A 37-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman were inside the Chevrolet Tracker, along with three other females when it suddenly careened off the freeway and down the embankment, according to the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner's Office.
The ages of the other three people inside the small SUV were not released.
