Four people remained hospitalized in extremely critical condition, California Highway Patrol Officer Dennis Cleland said.

California Baptist University cheerleading coach Wendy Rice, 35, of Corona died when an out-of-control sport utility vehicle struck the van she was driving.

The team was headed to a high-altitude training camp in Mammoth on Monday night, the Riverside school said.

Most of the injured students are from the Inland Empire.

Alicia Cantanese from Corona and Rebecca Trupp from Riverside sustained major injuries.

Other students suffered minor injuries: Alyssa Neimeyer from Temecula; David Solis from Corona; Brenda Perez from Riverside; Jennifer McGuire from Stevenson Ranch; Jonathan Monteon from Chino; Jonathan Hernandez from Moreno Valley; Hanna Ingulsrud from Ontario; Kayla Beaudoin from Corona; Miguel Gonzalez from Hacienda Heights.

Five people were inside the Ford Expedition that crossed the center-divider line; two of those were killed.

They were reportedly both recent graduates of a Catholic school in San Diego.

They were identified as Amanda Post and Natalie Nield in a notice posted on the school's website by Principal Michael Deely.

The other three occupants sustained third-degree burns.
