An 11:00 p.m. street race on Colorado Blvd. (b/w Eagle Rock Blvd & Townsend Ave.) in Eagle Rock claimed the lives of three people last night. Included in the dead are a pregnant woman who was driving, a teenage girl in the back seat and a man who was ejected onto the street. News reports to not clearly indicate if they were involved in the race or not. Two others were transported to the hospital in "grave condition." The driver of another car involved in the accident, who was street racing, was arrested on the scene. The cars must have been going at a "high rate of speed," d'Lisa Davies said at the LA Fire Department to LAist when the crash first happened as details were just coming out. "It's pretty mangled too," she said of the car wrapped around the tree. A third car that fled the scene is suspected to be involved in the crash as well.

Shithead asshole fucking streetracers go to hell.
Damn loser streetracing trash burn in hell.
It should be "4 dead".
Anyone found guilty to have been part of the race should at the very minimum have their licenses revoked permanently in addition to what ever their jail time is which would hopefully be substantial.
I can't feature a twenty year old pregnant mom with four passengers racing. But what was left of the Nissan Maxima sure indicates that she was going "balls to the wall." Looking at the pictures I think the seventy MPH estimate is low.
Folks that want to race need a place to go where the citizen is not put at risk and they can go as fast as they want...with safety supervision of course. So why can't that be done again, as it has in the past?
I went college a few blocks away from where this accident occurred and spent many nights jogging along Colorado Blvd. It is hard to imagine the danger that is involved when stupid, immature drivers drive like maniacs. This is so tragic.
You have no right to endanger peoples lives so intentionally. Driving is a privildge and if you want to race, and there is nowhere to race, then you are shit out of luck. If you don't people to think you are an asshole, don't drive like and asshole.
this was absolutely tragic. i was on the bus and we drove by it. it must have happend just moments before we drove by, because nothing had been roped off yet. i saw the man with the severed leg on the street and the mangled cars...people were taking video and pics with their phones which was disgusting...
This sucks alot, i knew Toni... she was a very funny girl..she was in my Spanish class...
why can't they ask the guy who got arrested if the girl was involved?
