FAIRFIELD (KRON) –Police are investigating whether drunk driving may have caused a fiery crash that killed two people in Fairfield Wednesday morning.

At 12:25 a.m., police from Fairfield and Vacaville responded to an accident involving two vehicles on Peabody Road just north of Hammond Drive, according to authorities.

Upon arrival, officers saw that the two cars had erupted into flames.

One of the drivers was able to escape but suffered unspecified burns. He was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Two occupants of the second car were not able to escape and died at the scene. The people who died were inside a Lincoln sedan.

The male driver of a Ford SUV has life-threatening injuries. A bystander was able to help the driver out of the car after the crash.
