One dead in multi-vehicle crash in Huntington Beach

At least one person died during a multi-vehicle crash in Huntington Beach.

What we know:

The crash occurred around 2:45 p.m. at the intersection of Goldenwest Street and Heil Avenue, according to Huntington Beach police spokeswoman Jessica Cuchilla.

Images from SkyFOX showed at least seven vehicles involved. A black sedan was seen completely flipped over on its hood. 

Witnesses said a car sped through the intersection then went airborne due to a dip in the road. That car then slammed into multiple other cars. 

"Pretty unreal seeing all the shrapnel kind of flying in front of us. It was intense. It was at least going 100 miles an hour down the road and cleared all the other cars that were sitting in here. And it veered around and hit that bump. That bump is no joke, and it caught air, and that was it. Lost control flipped over," said witness George Spaulding. 

The driver of that vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. Three other victims were taken to hospitals and were expected to survive.

Two of the victims were Orange County Probation Department officers, with one taken to a hospital, according to the Orange County Probation Department.
