Authorities said three people in the car were dead at the scene and the two injured were airlifted to a hospital.

The semi-truck also caught fire after the collision, but DPS officials didn’t say if the driver survived.

Two lanes of I-10 were closed until early Sunday as authorities investigated the crash.
