DPS says a woman driving a vehicle ran off the road and into the median, overcorrected, and swerved, which caused the vehicle to roll multiple times.
Eight people were in the vehicle at the time of the crash and three people were ejected.
Three people were killed, including a 4-month-old baby, a teenage boy, and a man.
Five others were taken to a hospital for treatment.
DPS says the investigation is ongoing and what led up to the crash has not been determined. Impairment has reportedly not been ruled out as a factor.
I-40 was shut down Wednesday morning, but it has since reopened.
