Witnesses looked on with horror after a crash in the Windsor Hills Thursday that was caused by a speeding driver who ran through a red light. “It’s just like a bomb. A child was in the street…had got ejected. A pregnant mother was lying over to the side,” Alphonso Word told KTLA. Investigators believe the female driver of a Mercedes was traveling at more than 100 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone when she plowed into cars at the intersection of South La Brea and Slauson avenues around 1:40 p.m., killing six people and injuring eight others. < Video https://ktla.com/news/local-news/a-...victims-of-fiery-crash-in-windsor-hills-area/
Saw that last night. Freaking insane. This woman needs to spend the rest of her miserable life behind bars.
Wow… I thought for sure she wouldn’t survive that. You are right, though, a long time in prison is needed.
I wonder if she will try that affluenza defense that asshole in Texas used after he killed a bunch of people. Throw. Away. The. Key.
There's no amount of careful driving or being a defensive driver that can prevent something like this from happening to you on the road. Horrific. RIP to those that died
If it was my pregnant wife and infant laying there dead on the ground I'd go shoot the driver myself.
What makes this kind of driving even possible for a human? I mean it looked like a jet plane shooting into that intersection. I just can't imagine this behavior, unless it was drug induced. Either way, LOCK HER UP! and yes, throw away the key.
Wow, that was violent. Assuming that driver wasn't having a medical event like a seizure, no reason for them to ever see the light of day again...
It's horrifying to think about the butterfly effect that leads to being in the car that gets hit in a situation like this. Any split second mundane action they took that day changes the outcome either way. Those poor families.
Never seen anything like that as it happened. Unless there is sone non-criminal explanation, that had to have been intentional. If it was simply negligent, a judge might not be allowed to impose a life sentence, but he or she can, I believe, impose, say, 10 years for each of the 6 deaths and make them consecutive. That's what that driver deserves absent mitigating facts we don't yet know about.
This is why we said it was a good thing this driver hit one of our engines last year. 94 mph at impact with a busy intersection a couple hundred yards away if that. Would have likely had a similar result if she made it to the intersection
