The circumstances of the crash are still unclear, but medical officials said the accident involved an SUV carrying 27 people (it should hold only 8) and a truck loaded with gravel.

Fourteen victims were declared dead at the scene, officials said, and another died on arrival at El Centro Regional Medical Center. Four victims were treated at El Centro and two others were taken to Pioneers Memorial Hospital in Brawley, but their exact condition is unknown.

“Patients are going through a difficult time, as you can imagine,” said Dr. Adolph Edward, El Centro’s chief executive officer, in a video message. “It was a serious accident and we will take care of them in the emergency room.”
