Firefighters removed two people trapped inside the Corvette, said Capt. Jose Perez of the Orange County Fire Authority. Those two and the SUV’s driver were taken to a hospital.

The Corvette passenger died, Garden Grove police Lt. Carl Whitney said.

Witnesses saw the Corvette veer into the lanes of oncoming traffic leading to the crash, police said.

At the scene, Perez said that speeding appeared to be a factor in the crash, though police said the investigation was ongoing. Authorities were still determining if drugs or alcohol were involved.
