Street Racing Causes Fatal Auto Accident in Los Angeles
October 09, 2007
An illegal street race in the neighborhood of El Monte, California, is believed to have been the cause of the horrific car crash on Monday night when a Mustang broadsided a sedan with a mother and her two children inside. The impact was so great that the sedan was pushed some 50 feet away before it slammed into a pick up truck and then burst into flames with its three passengers still trapped inside. The mother and the children died.
El Monte authorities believe the Mustang was involved in a street race with an Acura Legend when the two cars recklessly set off the multi car crash. The driver of the Mustang was taken to hospital for treatment and has been held for questioning. The driver of the Acura sped past after the accident and struck a parked vehicle, injuring the passenger of that car. The driver then abandoned the Acura about a block from the scene of the crash. Police are on the look out for the driver.
The victims haven't yet been identified and it's not clear who is going to be charged in this horrific tragedy. What is clear is that someone has to be held accountable for three needless wrongful deaths.
Street racing is a problem in many parts of California. Reckless drivers use the empty roads in many neighborhoods as playgrounds to indulge their racing fantasies, causing deaths and injuries regularly. Too often, these maverick drivers cause senseless loss of life as in this case, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
If you've been injured or have lost a loved one by the negligent actions or reckless driving of another, consult legal experts to protect your rights and seek compensation for your losses. The personal injury attorneys at The Reeves Law Group have successfully handled thousands of auto accident cases.
