Three people in a Tesla were killed when the car slammed into construction equipment on the Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Beach early Thursday, police said.

Three construction workers were injured in the crash.

The collision happened at about 12:45 a.m. on Newport Beach’s Mariners Mile strip. A Tesla Model S hit a curb, then crashed into equipment on the other side of the street, police spokeswoman Heather Rangel said.

Officers found three people dead inside the totaled car, Orange County sheriff’s Sgt. Scott Steinle said. They were later identified as Wayne Walter Swanson Jr., 40, of Newport Coast; Crystal M. McCallum, 34, of Texas; and Andrew James Chaves, 32, of Arizona.

The construction workers’ injuries were not considered life-threatening.

Debris littered the ground around a large, damaged flatbed trailer that had been pushed into the roadway.

Further information about the crash was not immediately released.

That stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway is a five-lane road through a commercial strip. The speed limit is 40 mph.
