This accident caused darkness in LA for the rest of the day for everybody. People who didn't even know the victims were saddened by this tragedy. 😔
Praying for Justice 🙏🏼🙏🏼
People who drive without care cause great harm to others in traffic. Rushing no where fast.
@Almonday that part ‼️
Please be respectful guys 🙏🏽 not the time for jokes this can be any of our family members.
I was close with one of the victims. You guys should really do better. Imagine this happening to someone you loved or even yourself. It can happen just like that. Don’t speed and look both ways in intersections even if it’s green. A fender bender is always better than being t boned
@studiocitycitizen Sorry to hear that. This is tragic and could have easily been avoided…. By actually driving less than 3x the speed limit, through a usually busy intersection
