Two people were killed due to a fatal speeding-related motor vehicle crash in Whittier on early Sunday morning, November 1.

The deadly accident occurred at the intersection of Norwalk and Beverly Blvd at approximately 3:31 a.m.

A black sedan, occupied by two men and two women, was reportedly speeding near Norwalk and Beverly boulevards’ intersection. The sedan lost control then struck several parked vehicles on Norwalk.

Two people were killed while two others were injured as a result of the crash. They were identified as 27-year-old Mayra Zarate and 28-year-old James Espinosa.

It is unclear whether they were occupants of the sedan. The two people that were injured were transported to an area hospital for treatment. Additional details about the accident are limited at the moment.

Fatal Car Accident Investigation is Underway 

The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating the case. They will attempt to determine whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the deadly crash.

Car accidents are one of the leading factors of injury deaths in California. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 3,304 recorded fatal car accidents in California in 2017. Speeding on the road is probably one of the most dangerous and reckless things drivers can do, especially if they’re not a professional racecar driver. They could potentially injure others, and it can also lead to fatal consequences.

When facing cases like this, it’s essential to have an experienced Los Angeles personal injury attorney specializing in car accidents to conduct an independent investigation. Attorneys can utilize their resources to review the factors that may have affected the crash carefully. They can hire expert witnesses, conduct background checks on the drivers involved, and review applicable insurance coverage for their client.
