Two people dead after getting ejected from a car

POMONA, Calif. (CBS, KYMA/KECY) - Two people were killed when they were ejected from a car when a pursuit ended in a crash in Pomona on Friday evening.

The crash happened at around 5:45pm when the suspects were fleeing from pursuing officers along the I-10 Freeway near Kellogg Drive, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).

At some point the car crashed, ejecting two of the occupants from inside. They were both pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers were unable to confirm reports that they were driving on the wrong side of the road when the collision happened.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
