The California Highway Patrol said that the victims, traveling in a black BMW M3, were leaving downtown when the driver lost control of the vehicle. The car struck an embankment and rolled over multiple times, ejecting four people onto the freeway lanes.
The four victims were pronounced dead at the scene by emergency providers.
A 22-year-old female passenger, from San Marcos, was sent to the hospital with minor injuries. CHP officials told 10News that the survivor was the only occupant wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.
The county's Medical Examiner's Office will perform a toxicology report to determine if drugs or alcohol were a factor in this crash, according to the CHP.
