Two other cars then hit that vehicle, sending it into a guardrail and causing it to flip over.
Three people in the car were pronounced dead at the scene.
The drivers of the two vehicles in the southbound lanes were taken to the hospital. One was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The driver of the other car in the northbound lanes was also rushed to the hospital for treatment.
