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.

>Prediction: Somewhere a sick EV disciple will use this as an example of the danger of ICE vehicles.

And with an EV, the lithium fires would still be burning.

but gave ME a dirty look....for making her stop, after she blew through HER stop sign. :- /

That attitude is all too prevalent today to the utter amazement and total confusion of sane society. Met one just the other day. Female so short she cannot be seen from behind. Told myself twice to pass quickly at the first opportunity but I exercised caution and the only opportunity was to pass on the right as she slowly drove down the middle of the street. So we reach the stop sign where there is no cross traffic and she proceeds to park.

Fifteen seconds later cross traffic, she’s signalling a right turn again no cross traffic and no movement, I give her one very short beep on the horn and the drama begins, turning in her seat to see who’s behind her instead of TURNING. Then slowly very slowly idling her way out into the street but sticking in the curb lane so I could at least get around her in the other lane. Just being a Jackass because she could. I made it to my appointment on time, but those kinds of interactions with insane people help to keep the sane aware of the fact these people vote and vote exactly like they drive.

Look at Post 74 this thread. Didn’t make to the fuel dispenser. I understand your point about plastic tanks. I didn’t go to the video frame by frame but it looked to me like the fuel line was severed early on in one of the cars and left a flaming trail. Didn’t look like the fuel tanks got ripped out immediately.

That intersection is very popular for street take overs

I noticed the circular tire marks in the intersection. Is that from donuts?

That’s why I never assume it’s clear cause it SHOULD be. I always check to make sure someone is driving the way they are supposed to.
No guarantee if the other person is as evil as the person who killed all those innocents.

First named victim may be a young black pregnant female with a child. Not a common name so easier to find. Unclear the age of the child on social media.

If so, DA can’t ignore this fiasco.

I see now that it didn't actually get to the pumps, but she rammed at least five cars at a high rate of speed. The first was hit in the rear sideways, and that's going to be the weakest point. This likely severed the fuel tank/lines and left the trail, but honestly, it doesn't take much gasoline to get a huge fire going. There's a lot of plastic and fabric to burn.

Wow. Really does make you wonder if sometimes we have guardian angels watching over us.

A couple weeks ago I was driving the expressway home from work and traffic came to a stop as emergency vehicles started coming up from behind on the shoulder. All lanes blocked, finally arrived at the point of accident where they let us pass on the shoulder. Three cars one eerily demolished. I almost left a few minutes earlier from work but I decided to stay and chat with a couple of coworkers that night which is pretty unusual for me as I like to get home right away.

Potentially life-saving advice from your folks. I don’t remember either one of my parents impressing anything upon me as a new driver. And again my memory isn’t what it used to be lol.

As for the stop sign gal don’t you know some people have more privilege than others? The important people don’t have to obey traffic signs, but when they’re important selves are coming you better stay out of their way. 🥴

Why such a high speed? Driver incapable of operating car due to medical?

Suicide by vehicle? Muslim name? Drugs. No traffic cops.
