May 1, 2022~ (WDN) A father and daughter were killed when their car crashed into a fire hydrant and power pole before landing in the area of a gas station in La Mirada Saturday morning, April 30, authorities said.
The driver of a gray Chrysler 300 was eastbound on Rosecrans Avenue, approaching Beach Boulevard, at a high rate of speed when it first sheared the fire hydrant and then slammed into the power pole, bringing it to the ground just before 8 a.m., Sgt. Raymond Munoz of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.
The mangled wreckage ended up at a Shell gas station on the southeast corner of the intersection, he said. The man, who was driving, and his daughter were ejected from the vehicle.
Both victims died at the scene, Munoz said.
No other injuries were reported.
Investigators continued at the crash site, while Edison employees worked to replace the power pole, Munoz said.
I’m sure you have more information by now but you probably should retract the statements guessing it was drugs or alcohol it was neither the daughter called her mom just before the accident and said dad is having a seizure I don’t know what to do it was pretty terrible these were good friends of our family and should be respected as such
The story does not say anything about drugs or alcohol.
