Scene. Tell us the latest of what you know. Reporter a fire captain did tell us he has never seen an accident like this where you have four cars involved in the same accident and all catch fire and become fully engulfed. The remains are out here south of highway 85 on the 101. One driver was not able to get out of their vehicle and died in the crash.
