The crash between a grey four-door Saab and a white GMC Denali happened near 40165 Murrieta Hot Springs Road at about 5:15 Saturday evening.  Firefighters had to use the ‘jaws of life’ to rescue one of the victims and pull them to safety.  It was unclear from which vehicle the rescue occurred. 

According to Murrieta Fire Captain Richard Curran, there were no passengers in either vehicle.
