The driver, only identified as a woman in her 30s, died at the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The impact sent a car up onto the sidewalk where it finally came to a stop up against the wall of a building. Parked cars in the area were also struck with debris from the crash, and a fire hydrant was sheared, sending water shooting high into the air.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Neighbors told Eyewitness News off-camera that a car appeared to have been speeding before the deadly crash.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Video from the scene showed another woman being loaded onto an ambulance, but it&#8217;s unclear if she was the driver of the other vehicle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Additional details about what led up to the crash were not available but it is under investigation.<\/p>\n<p><br class=\" \"\/><\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2026 KABC Television, LLC.
