Three people were killed when an erratic driver intentionally crossed the double yellow line and collided head-on with another car. Authorities in Coos County, Oregon, received multiple reports that the driver, identified as
Cory Orsenico, 32, was driving recklessly. Other motorists called 911 to report that his red Mitsubishi Eclipse was swerving through traffic, cutting off vehicles, running red lights, and speeding through a school zone.
Deputies located Orsenico, and as they began pursuing him, they got into a minor accident. The crash didn't stop Orsenico, who sped away before intentionally crashing his car.
"Investigating officers have reason to believe that Orsenico traveled from the slow lane of the three-lane highway to the fast lane, then crossed the double yellow line before intentionally colliding with the vehicle in the opposing lane," the Coos County Sheriff's Office said.
