Three people killed in an I-10 big-rig crash have been identified as a resident of Orange and two residents of Beaumont.
A father and his teenage son — Donald Dearinger, 52, and Nicholas Dearinger, 16, both of Beaumont — were killed when their semi-truck crashed into a big-rig that had stopped on the shoulder of eastbound I-10 near Eagle Mountain Road. The big-rig driver — Dale Phillips, 60, of Orange — was outside his vehicle and was also killed.
The Dearingers were pronounced dead at the scene. Donald Dearinger’s granddaughter was airlifted to a hospital with major injuries after she was ejected from the semi.
The cause of the fatal crash is under investigation by the CHP.
