The three people killed in a crash on Highway 160 on Tuesday evening in unincorporated Sacramento County have been identified.

The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office identified the victims as Corey Johnny Wolford, 26, of Antioch, Alice Tarae Acoff, 27, of Sacramento and Omari Marquez Dill, 7, of Sacramento.

The California Highway Patrol South Sacramento office previously said a 2017 Toyota Tundra, driven by a 23-year-old Antioch man, was driving southbound on the highway near West Sherman Island Road when a 2001 Saturn, driven by Acoff, swerved into opposing traffic just before 7 p.m.

The Toyota attempted to stop and unintentionally hit the Saturn on the passenger side. Both vehicles hit the highway guard rail as well.

Acoff, Wolford and Dill, the three occupants of the Saturn, were killed. The driver and 30-year-old passenger of the Toyota were taken by ambulance to a hospital with minor injuries.

At the time, CHP said it was investigating drugs or alcohol as a factor in the crash, but officers did not make any arrests.
