The sedan collided with a white Land Rover SUV in the middle lane of southbound traffic, spinning the SUV, Turner said. The sedan flipped in the crash.

Two men in the sedan died, the passenger at the scene and the driver at a local hospital. Police said it appears they were not wearing seatbelts.

The driver of the SUV, a woman, was taken to a local hospital. She was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, and was conscious and alert, Turner said. Further details on her condition were not available.

The crash happened about 8 a.m. and traffic in the area was knotted.

The people involved in the crash have not been identified.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but police believe excessive speed was a factor. Alcohol is not suspected in the crash.

Police do not know why the driver of the sedan made the abrupt left turn into oncoming traffic in an area where there was no side street or any other outlet.
