Two people died in a single-vehicle crash in San Bernardino, California early Monday morning, police said.
Officers attended the intersection of Rialto and Tippecanoe avenues around 12:20 a.m. to find a vehicle that had struck into a tree, San Bernardino Police Department Sgt. Baughman said.
The two individuals, who have not been identified as of yet, were pronounced dead at the scene.
The impact from the crash seemed to have split the vehicle into three pieces, video from the scene reveals.
A bulk of the mangled car seemed crushed — on a divider amongst some trees. The steering wheel and dashboard were strewn throughout the debris-covered roadway, with the deployed airbag still attached.
Police are investigating the crash, and it remains unclear what resulted in the car to crash into the tree.
Tippecanoe Avenue was shut down for hours between Rialto Avenue and Harry Sheppard Boulevard as investigators continue the investigation of the crash site.
