PASADENA, Calif. - Two people were killed and three others hospitalized in Pasadena after a multi-car crash apparently caused by a wrong-way driver, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The two people killed in the crash died at the scene. One of the victims was identified as William Yost, 31, according to the County Medical Examiner's website.
