Police said the crash happened at about 10:40 p.m. at the intersection of Centerville Road and Joaquin Drive.

Officials identified one of the victims killed as Milena Wilske. Police said she was driving a car with a passenger when they were at a stop sign on Centerville and Joaquin.

According to police, Wilske was trying to turn left when a pickup truck, allegedly driven by Antonio Ortiz, ran the stop sign at Joaquin and struck Wilske's vehicle.
