CORONA, Calif. (AP) - Four people are dead after their small car crashed into a tree on Highway 91 just west of Corona.

California Highway Patrol Officer Octavio Magana says two people
inside the small sedan may have been ejected when the vehicle hit a
tree shortly before 2:30 a.m. Friday.

Fire officials say the wreckage was so badly mangled the type of
car couldn't immediately be determined.

Battalion Chief Chris Cox says the vehicle broke in half.

The cause of the one-vehicle crash wasn't clear.
