Bride Killed Limo Fire In California and Four Others Dead (VIDEO)

Bride-to-be among five women in their 30s killed during a bachelorette party after they became trapped inside their burning limo on San Francisco highway. A bride-to-be was among the five women who died after their limo burst into flames in San Francisco last night. The four others who died and four women who escaped were part of her bachelorette party. She was to be married next month.

Police said the five who died were so badly burned they had to be identified by dental records.

The limousine was traveling on a major bridge when the back of the car burst into flames, California Highway Patrol officer Art Montiel said.

Montiel said that the victims were all in their 30s. Authorities said the names of the dead would be released once families have been notified.

The injured are: Mary G. Guardiano, 42, of Alameda, Nelia Arrellano, 36, of Oakland, Amalia Loyola, 48, of San Leandro, and Jasmine Desguia, 34, of San Jose.

The driver of the vehicle, Orville Brown, 46, of San Jose, California, escaped uninjured.

The blaze occurred around 10pm on westbound lanes of the bridge, which connects San Mateo and Alameda counties, about 20 miles southeast of San Francisco.

The patrol said that smoke started coming out of the rear of the limo, and the driver pulled over as the vehicle quickly became engulfed in flames.

Officers were trying to determine the cause of the blaze, which wasn’t the result of an accident.

‘We have no idea right now where they were going or where they were coming from,’ CHP officer Amelia Jack told KGO-TV.

Two of the women who escaped were taken to Stanford Hospital and the two others were taken to Valley Medical Center in San Jose. All four are being treated for smoke inhalation and burns.

The westbound lanes of the bridge were closed as officers investigated the cause of the deadly fire, but the patrol said one lane of traffic reopened early Sunday.
