This is the horrific moment an LA driver speeds through a red light before slamming into five cars at an intersection, killing six including an infant and a pregnant woman.
The black Mercedes races past a gas station then smashes into the side of a traffic jam, causing a flaming inferno in the Windsor Hills district.
It sends the vehicles screeching across the street before finally coming to a stop in a mangled wreck just feet away from rows of highly flammable pumps.
The gut-wrenching pile up, between of South La Brea Avenue and Slauson Avenue, killed the pregnant woman, her unborn child and the three-year-old.
Meanwhile seven people have been left fighting for their lives with horrendous injuries following the devastating smash at 1.40pm.

Driver alive. A purported friend claims driver had been drinking and had a fight with a boyfriend and didnt know there was a red light
Some rumors say famous person. Others say 40 year old nurse
A baby seat with baby was ejected from a car. Probably the first car that was Tboned. Interestingly, they are calling unborn fetus a person and listing it in the death count
Saw a post that said Mercedes cars go through cars like rice paper because of Engineering.
There is a down hill slope on that road but no excuse for going over 100 miles an hour. Some in the neighborhood can't believe there werent more cars in lanes stopping the speed before you even get to the intersection

Why such a high speed? Driver incapable of operating car due to medical? Drive running away? No attempt to stop or turn, just straight on at maybe 100 plus mph......
Also right before the crash you see driver putting an arm out the window for some reason. Reports an arm was found on scene but no details. Serves her right to lose her arm and more body parts.
here is the friend.

I am dubious she is legit but the arm that was out of the window did appear black.
Mechanical failure?
Still, even if your brakes aren’t working, why are you doing 85mph?
an engineer safety person posted that the car will have a black box that will withstand a fire
if the friend interview is legit the driver was probably in a rage over the boyfriend. Maybe suicide..who knows..but she is alive and talking to cops.
Sad to say, that it proves the invincibility of Mercedes in dar wrecks. If shw was strapped in, chances are she suffered little injuries other than maybe burns.
Unless you’re Michael Hastings :-(
Huh? Where do you see that?
Look at the head on collision that killed everyone in Indiana. A Mercedes might have kept some of them alive.
I dont know jack about collisions but seeing a lot of people say cars are built to try to withstand the crumple of head on versus the T bone car that didn’t stand a chance even if it didnt immediately ignite into fire
Had the car in front not decided to turn into a gas station slowing everyone down the car with the pregnant woman would have escaped a fiery death.
That video brings home to the randomness of life and split second decision means life or death
People have slowed down the video and looked at it frame by frame. Its on the net. Saw it on twitter and reddit
From a local article: “All of the sudden, a baby literally flew from the middle of the intersection to the middle of the gas station and landed right on the floor in front of me,” Esquival said. “One of the workers came and saw me with the baby and took the baby out of my hands. Somebody tried to resuscitate the baby, but the baby was gone.”
I CAN’T BEIEVE PEOPLE JUST COTINUED DRIVING AROUND IT
that honestly doesnt look like an arm to me..
Notice the woman by her car at the pump who sees what is happening and backs away from the fire. I would have done the same..except it happened so fast I would have probably been dumbfounded in shock and just stood there.
One of those self driving cars.
