The crash happened at 7:11 a.m. near Varner Road and Avenue 38, according to the California Highway Patrol.
One victim, who had to be cut out of their vehicle by county firefighters, was airlifted to a hospital with moderate injuries, said April Newman of the Riverside County Fire Department. The two other patients suffered minor injuries and declined to be transported to a hospital, Newman said.
