According to Blaschke, the four occupants packed into the two-seat Nissan 350Z Roadster are female Harbor High School students, ages 17, 16 and 15.
The passenger in the back section suffered the worst injuries and was flown by air ambulance to a Bay Area trauma center, Blaschke said.
The other three were transported to the hospital with various injuries.
Investigators are working to determine the cause of the crash. La Fonda remained closed until 3 p.m.
