Collision Involving Two Semi-Trucks and a Car

Two semi-trucks and a car collided in Wasco on Friday morning, killing one unidentified person. 

The deadly crash happened at about 7:14 a.m. at the intersection of Sherwood Avenue and Wildwood Road, per reports. 

It is currently not clear what led up to the crash between a Mazda coupe and two semi-trucks. 

When firefighters and paramedics responded to the scene, one person was pronounced dead.
