LA horror speeding crash
At least six people — including a pregnant woman and a baby — were killed when a speeding driver plowed through a red light at a Los Angeles intersection Thursday, ramming multiple cars and instantly engulfing three in flames.
Surveillance video of the horrific crash obtained by RMG News shows a Mercedes-Benz sedan speeding through a steady red light at the intersection of La Brea and Slauson avenues and slamming into traffic at around 1:40 p.m. in the Windsor Hills neighborhood.
The impact of the collision propelled shrapnel and immediately set multiple vehicles on fire.
A plume of heavy smoke was seen from miles away, officials said.
An official with the California Highway Patrol confirmed that the Mercedes driver was traveling at a “high rate of speed” at the time of the collision.
The six dead include four adults, one infant and an unborn child according to CHP. It wasn’t immediately confirmed if the speeding driver was one of the fatalities.
