Three motorcyclists, including two U.S. Navy Sailors, were killed in a crash on southbound I-5 near Camp Pendleton early Thursday that was causing traffic delays hours later. The crash was reported around 3 a.m. just south of Las Pulgas Road. A jeep swerved and hit the guardrail and became disabled in the southbound lanes. Then a Mercedes van hit the Jeep and overturned, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Hunter Gerber. This caused a chain reaction crash where then four motorcyclists crashed into the van. Three of the four motorcyclists died at the scene, Gerber said. A spokesperson for the U.S. Navy confirmed the two of the riders were Sailors. |

He came up in the fire family. He was a third-generation firefighter so he understood what the fire service was all about.” | |
