Lisa Holland, Laurie Bloomquist, and one more as yet unidentified motorist were pronounced dead on scene. Daniel Holland, Valdez, Meyer, Zandes, and a minor involved in the accident were all transported to a nearby hospital.

Investigators believe that 45 mph winds in the area at the time may have kicked up dust, causing low visibility which led to the crash, reported KTVB 7 News.

A power line in the area was also knocked down because of the wind. 

The details surrounding the crash are still under investigation.
