DUI Suspected In Crash That Killed 3 On Sacramento Freeway

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - Three people are dead after a wrong-way driver hit them on a Sacramento freeway early this morning.

It happened around 2 a.m. Saturday morning on I-80 near Madison Avenue.

Twenty-four-year-old Aaron Jordon Caudillo of Roseville was reportedly driving wrong way when he hit a car with three people inside, killing all of them. The victims have been identified as a 20-year-old Roseville resident Mat Azar, 18-year-old Granite Bay resident Kendra Langham and 18-year-old Roseville resident Mathew Beardwitt.

A CHP spokesperson says the best way to avoid wrong-way drivers is to look ahead and move away from the fast lane.

Caudillo survived the collision and is in the hospital, but his condition is not being released.

Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash.
