LODI, Calif. - A crash on Interstate 5 in San Joaquin County early Tuesday killed three people and injured two California Highway Patrol officers, authorities said.

 

The CHP Stockton office tweeted that the two officers were in a CHP vehicle that was struck in the rear around 2:30 a.m.

KCRA reported that the officers’ vehicle was on the shoulder of I-5 waiting for a tow truck to assist a semi that broke down overnight.

 

A passing car struck the CHP vehicle, plowed into trees, caught fire and the three people inside died.

 

The officers were flown to a hospital.

 

The area of the crash is northwest of Lodi.

 

The crash occurred on the southbound side of the interstate just south of the Sacramento County line, KCRA reported.
