Car Crash Saratoga California in Saratoga, California: Three people died after a 2024 BMW M3 lost control while traveling eastbound on a two-lane highway that slopes downhill, veering off the road and plunging about 400 feet down a steep embankment in the Santa Cruz mountains, according to the California Highway Patrol. Officers were dispatched to the scene west of Redwood Gulch Road off Highway 9 at 9:36 p.m. Monday. The driver, a 21-year-old man from Yuba City, and two passengers — a 17-year-old boy from San José and a 27-year-old man from Salem, Oregon — all died in the crash. The highway was closed in both directions for about three hours during the investigation.
