After a driver crashed her car into a Westwood grocery store and killed three people, safety measures and improvements are coming to Westwood Boulevard, a Los Angeles city official announced Friday.

Three people were killed, and several others were injured after a silver car, driven by a woman in her 90s, crashed into the bakery of the 99 Ranch Market grocery store on Westwood Boulevard near Rochester Avenue Thursday afternoon.

Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky, who represents the Westwood neighborhood, said during Friday’s city council meeting that immediate action is needed to prevent another tragedy.

“We shouldn’t be waiting years for basic interventions while Angelenos die,” Yaroslavsky said.

The councilwoman called on immediate, quick-build safety measures while longer-term work continues to improve the safety of Westwood Boulevard.

The councilwoman noted the city has a process underway to make Westwood Boulevard safer. Her office secured funding for the project because they knew improvements were needed. She said she’s also requested a review of the Department of Transportation’s timeline for the Westwood Boulevard Safety and Mobility Project.

Thursday’s deadly crashed happened when the 92-year-old female driver was making what appeared to be an unsafe left turn before clipping a bicyclist and crashing into the grocery store, the LAPD told NBC4 Investigates Friday.

Neighbors told NBC Los Angeles the stretch of Westwood Boulevard near the crash scene has been dangerous for pedestrians largely because of speeding cars.

“I’ve almost been hit like as a pedestrian in this crosswalk at this intersection a million times,” Amy Fleschert, who said to have lived in the Westwood area for 13 years, said. “This is an issue that has not been addressed by the city and they need to do something.”

Students also called for more speed limits and enforcements as they often walk around the neighborhood and sit at the patios of restaurants or coffee shops in the area to study.

“I just heard a loud bang,” Sixto Jolalta, who said he shops at the grocery store, said, adding “it’s a very dangerous stretch of road.”

Kayden Kohan, a UCLA student, said the 99 Ranch Market opened when the two-story building was remodeled a couple of years ago, becoming a convenient place for students to buy food, sit at outside tables and study.

“It’s said. It shows how your life can change within like one second,” Koahn said. “Definitely be more cautious and watch your surroundings.”
