Three people were killed and three others hospitalized Saturday after a vehicle slammed into an Uber rideshare vehicle full of passengers in South Los Angeles.
California Highway Patrol responded to a call about 5:25 a.m. of a collision at the intersection of South Vermont Avenue and West Century Boulevard in Westmont in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, authorities said.
According to local media reports, a northbound white Mercedes sedan entered the intersection at a noticeably high speed when it crashed head-on into a black Honda operating as an Uber rideshare.The force of the collision sent the Honda spinning, ejecting one female passenger who died at the scene,Two other female passengers extracted from the wreckage of the Honda were also pronounced dead at the scene, according to the station.
Once the car stopped spinning, Gonzalez ran to the vehicle, where he found the passengers unresponsive. “I was trying to help the two girls in the back,” he said. “I started shaking them, I started talking to them, waking them up. They weren’t responding. They weren’t breathing.”A representative for Uber reached by telephone said they were unable to discuss the incident.
The Los Angeles Police Department has taken over the investigation, which is continuing. West Century Boulevard remained closed between South Normandie Avenue and South Hoover Street on Saturday morning as officers surveyed the scene.
