Aurelia Amezcua decided to pass a slower-moving semi-truck and crossed the double yellow lines into eastbound lanes about 9:10 p.m. The driver was just a half-mile from a passing lane in the roadway. She subsequently crashed head-on into an oncoming 2011 Nissan Versa occupied by three people.
Upon impact, all three people in the Nissan died at the scene. Maria Magana and Mireya Reyes suffered major injuries and their driver had minor injuries.
