Two women killed in a single-vehicle traffic collision early Saturday morning have been identified. Jamie R. Lopez, 26 of Santa Ana, and Nancy A. Ortiz, 26, of Garden Grove, died in the crash, the Orange County Coroner’s Office confirmed.

Upon their arrival, officers discovered two female occupants of a Chevrolet Corvette deceased. The remaining occupant, a male, was critically injured and transported to a local hospital.

A fire hydrant was sheered as a result of the accident and has been turned off.

Southbound Jamboree between Main and Kelvin has been reopened. Northbound Jamboree is expected to reopen tonight.
