Four were ejected from the sport utility vehicle, according to CalFire.

As of 2 p.m., a cut-and-rescue team, multiple ambulances and a helicopter had been dispatched to the scene of the accident. The arrival of the helicopter caused the CHP to close the southbound side of the freeway.

The vehicle ended up on its roof in a ditch on the right shoulder, according to the CHP.

The injuries were described as “critical.”
