SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO >> Three people were killed and two others seriously injured Thursday night in a two-vehicle collision in San Juan Capistrano.

A dog also died in the head-on collision, which was reported at 7:53 p.m. on Camino Capistrano, south of Avery Parkway, between the 5 Freeway and San Joaquin Hills (73) Transportation Corridor, Capt. Steve Concialdi of the Orange County Fire Authority said.

Three people were pronounced dead at the scene and two — a man and woman, both in their 20s — were taken to a hospital as trauma patients, he said.

The dog was in the same vehicle as the injured victims, Concialdi said.

One of the vehicles involved caught fire after the crash, a witness at the scene reported to the California Highway Patrol.
