Authorities in Santa Ana had been looking for the driver and another person who fled the scene of Friday evening's crash, which claimed the lives of 13-year-old twins and a 13-year-old friend at a crosswalk. A damaged black Honda SUV was found a short distance from where the collision occurred.
Santa Ana police said officers made the arrests Sunday, but declined to provide an exact number of arrests or other details ahead of a news conference scheduled for Monday.
A witness told the Los Angeles Times the girls were wearing costumes with black leggings and dark clothing when they were hit.
Two of the girls were declared dead immediately, and a third died as paramedics prepared to take her to a hospital, Orange County fire Capt. Steve Concialdi said.
The twin sisters were Lexi and Lexandra Perez, and the third victim was Andrea Gonzalez, the Orange County Sheriff's Department said.
