A single-vehicle crash on the southbound 5 Freeway in Anaheim resulted in the deaths of three teenagers and left one person in critical condition. The accident occurred near the Lincoln Avenue off-ramp when a Ford Edge SUV veered off the road, striking a guardrail and a concrete pillar before overturning. 

Following the incident, the Orange County Coroner identified the deceased as 17-year-old Victor Hugo Delgado, 16-year-old Miguel Gutierrez-Avalos, and 15-year-old Levi Jacob Flores. Investigators from the California Highway Patrol noted that the occupants did not appear to be wearing seat belts. While a definitive cause is still under investigation, authorities are looking into speed and whether the driver missed the off-ramp, though they have not ruled out the influence of drugs or alcohol.
