Bad Accident on Rice Road!!

[ColeTR1]

Thursday Night about 10 pm went bye a truck and car looked like a head on. Both cars where totaly burnt up. It was one mile east of the Iron Mountain turn out. One of the worst ones I have seen. Does anyone have any details. (boatcop?)

Here was some info posted on another board:
Five die in fiery collision
01:28 AM PDT on Friday, June 18, 2004
The Press-Enterprise
Five people, their bodies burned beyond recognition, died Thursday afternoon in a head-on collision on a highway in a remote desert area of San Bernardino County, coroner's officials said.
A 1991 Lincoln Towncar, registered in Phoenix, was westbound on Highway 62 east of Rice at 2:40 p.m. when it passed a tractor-trailer rig and collided head-on with an eastbound Ford Bronco, coroner's officials said.
The ensuing fire melted the license plate of the Bronco.
Officials said four people were in the Lincoln and one was in the Bronco, and that their ages and genders could not be determined. Dental records will be used to identify them and autopsies will be performed, officials said.
