Orange County, CA: Fatal Two-Vehicle Crash Causes Car Fire on Pacific Coast Highway
Orange County, California (March 30, 2018): The Huntington Beach Police Department is conducting an active investigation into a fatal two-vehicle collision on Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach, CA, early yesterday morning, Thursday, March 29, 2018.

Officials believe the accident happened just after 1:00 a.m. when a white sedan rear-ended a red vehicle in the northbound lanes of Pacific Coast Highway.
