LOS ANGELES — Two women were killed Sunday night during what authorities are investigating as a possible street takeover in Compton.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is investigating whether the two women traveling in a red Honda sedan were involved in the street takeover. It’s unclear if the women were crossing the intersection of Wilmington Avenue and Stockwell Street in the Honda when they collided with an SUV around 11:30 p.m., or if they were performing illegal stunts in the car.
KTLA-TV Channel 5 reports that the women in the Honda were drifting in circles through the intersection before the collision. One woman was ejected from the car. Eyewitnesses told the news station that one woman was hanging out a window when the Honda collided with the SUV.
