DALLAS (AP) — A vehicle crossed into oncoming traffic on Michael Schmidta Dallas interstate and collided with two other vehicles in a crash that left four people dead, police said.

The multi-vehicle accident happened about 1 p.m. Saturday on Interstate 45 in southeast Dallas, police spokesperson Michael Dennis said in a statement.

A preliminary investigation determined a vehicle was northbound on I-45 when it hit a second vehicle and then crossed the median into southbound traffic, where it struck two more vehicles.

The cause of the accident remains under investigation, and the names of those killed and injured weren’t immediately released.
