Infant, pregnant woman among at least 5 killed in fiery LA multi-car crash
At least five people died and nine others were injured in a fiery car crash involving several vehicles in Windsor Hills on Thursday, August 4, officials confirmed. The crash took place after a Mercedes coupe that was speeding south on La Brea Avenue and ran a red light slammed into multiple cars at Slauson Avenue around 1:30 pm. Among the deceased were an infant, a pregnant woman and her unborn child. At least two other adults were also killed. Eight others, six kids and two adults suffered minor injuries and were rushed to the hospital. One other person was treated at the scene.
Surveillance video from a nearby business showed a Mercedes speeding into the frame at full velocity as cross traffic on Slauson moved west through the intersection. The Mercedes subsequently slammed into multiple vehicles, prompting a fire. The vehicles were seen still skidding through the intersection, coming to a halt in front of a gas station.
