Following the crash, three individuals managed to get out of the car on their own. Firefighters extricated a fourth person.
Emergency personnel transported one individual, who was in critical condition, to Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital. However, the patient was pronounced dead.
An ambulance transported two individuals who suffered moderate injuries to Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria. The fourth occupant of the vehicle sustained minor injuries and was not taken to the hospital.
