Identify some of the deceased

On Friday morning, authorities identified a pregnant woman and her unborn child as two of the six victims who died in the collision.

Los Angeles County coroner’s officials said Ashley Ryan and her unborn child died in the incident.

The coroner’s office has not yet released the names of the other four deceased victims, but described them as one child, whose age was not specified, two women and one man.

The little boy who died was Asherey Ryan’s son, her sister said Friday in an interview with ABC 7’s Eyewitness News.

“I drove to the scene,” Ryan’s sister said. “I ran past the cops just because I wanted to feel their energy one more time. “Yesterday, I really lost it,” she said. “My family was broken yesterday. And we’re still broken.”

Shortly after 1:30 p.m. Thursday, a Mercedes-Benz coupe caused an accident involving up to six cars near a gas station, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Terrible accident

Several people were thrown from cars and two vehicles caught fire. News video from the scene showed charred and mangled cars as well as a child’s seat amid debris littering the street.

Surveillance video showed the Mercedes barreling through an intersection, striking at least two cars that exploded into flames and were sent hurtling onto a sidewalk, ending up against the corner gas station sign. A streak of fire engulfed a car. One vehicle was split in half.

“It looked like the entire intersection from corner to corner was on fire,” witness Harper Washington said. and ABC7. “Lots of sparks and electricity. I had the impression that, at first, I thought a bomb had been dropped on us. I thought another world war had started. Then I realized that it was a car that had hit the sign.”

“Once the fire was out and the noise passed, I realized there were two cars there. You could see people on fire and that’s sad. I really pray for the people and the community.”
