[Demovictory9]

The San Francisco medical examiner's office released the names of four people who died early Thursday morning in a wrong-way collision on U.S. Highway 101.

They've been identified as 34-year-old Emilie Ross of Hillsborough, 42-year-old Berkant Ahmed of San Mateo, 57-year-old Mary Miller of Chicago, and 62-year-old Judson Bergman of Barrington, Illinois.

According to the CHP, Ross was driving a Volkswagen while impaired, heading south on the highway's northbound lanes around 12:30 a.m. The Volkswagen collided with a Ford taxi on the highway near Paul Avenue, killing the taxi's driver, Ahmed, and his two passengers, Miller and Bergman.

All four were pronounced dead at the scene, CHP officials said.

The CHP called the wrong-way collision a "tragedy" and extended condolences to the victims' families.

In light of the fatal collision, the CHP is reminding drivers to drive responsibly and to report possible intoxicated drivers.

According to the CHP, DUI arrests in the Bay Area are on the rise, with officers making 7,796 already this year alone, up from 6,482 in 2018.
