A speeding car ran a red light and plowed into cars in a crowded intersection Thursday in a fiery crash that killed five people, including a baby, just outside of Los Angeles, authorities said.
Shortly after 1:30 p.m., a Mercedes-Benz sedan caused a crash involving as many as six cars near a gas station in the unincorporated Windsor Hills about 10 miles (16 kilometers) southwest of downtown LA, according to the California Highway Patrol.
