Five people were killed after a fiery auto accident on Pacific Coast Highway in Ventura County. On the early morning (around 4:30 a.m.) of November 6, two vehicles met in a head-on collision near Mugu Rock. This caused the roadway to be closed for hours. Both directions were not reopened until 2:40 p.m. that Sunday.
