The female driver had tried to pass the other vehicle when she lost control of her car. She had crashed into several of those metal pylons and a tree before she was briefly put airborne and crashing into a business that is local.
According to Lt. Williams who is with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Lynwood Station, there was sadly a male as well as a female passenger who had died on impact from the crash. The female and male were not wearing a seatbelt.
