This is NOT an accident, this is murder!!! That impact looked like over 100 mph!!

This was not a "trying to beat the light"

That red light was already on for a while.

I almost died in a car crash where someone driving way too fast, lost control and hit me head on. I always tell people, it's not my driving I'm worried It's everyone else's

Damn, the initial crash was intense. Imagine just driving down the road and BAM you’re hit so hard there is a fire. It is my hope those who died did so on impact and passed away without having a chance to remember what had happened or felt any pain. Prayers for all victims and their families. Respect to all of the first responders.

This is how my girlfriend died, 9 years ago I'm so fulled of anger just because some fucker was late to work

Any one of those cars could have been hit and the people lost their lives being burned to death! That person or people in that Prius and the white SUV were lucky and the other car hit was not. How tragic and horrific! Makes you realize how just being at the wrong place at the wrong time could mean your last day here on earth.
Prayers to the victims and their families🙏😢

That was so fast. I could hardly tell what happened at first. Honestly 130mph +, it was like a bullet.

So sad. Condolences to the family. What a heartbreaker. A husband lost his wife and unborn child. So many other sad stories.

Remember y'all we can die at any moment for any reason. There is no such thing as safety in this world, so live your best, don't fear death, and keep living it's all you can do. Make safe choices and maybe things can be a bit better.

How horrible! She wasn’t just speeding she went full throttle into traffic you could slow it down and she’s still goes through like a missile.🥺 My condolences to all the families. I can’t imagine, and all those that witnessed as well that sound is gonna stay with them for a while. RIP

[cjsrescues]

This just breaks my heart. My sincerest condolences to the families.

This why I'm so overly cautious when I drive. I'm not just looking ahead, I look sideways at intersections. You can't just assume everyone is going to come to a complete stop. A similar accident happened while I was in Houston about three years ago on the beltway. A truck came flying through the intersection w/ my daughter & nephew in the car with me and instead of hitting me, it flipped over a truck that was driving right next to me. Unfortunately it was a hit and run, but I give The Most High ALL the glory for keeping us that day. Even the man that got flipped over. He survived too.

It did not run a red light, it literally crashed into a whole bunch of cars that were driving through, there was absolutely NO place for that car to go but into another car, so running the light was not the plan, crashing was.

Those barriers in the gas station literally saved the whole community around it. If one of those flaming cars would have hit a pump that whole block would have been gone. There are 4 gas stations in that intersection, we know how big it is for 1 to explode but 4!!!! That’s something insane we should never hope to see.

Coming down La Brea, going south it's scary at times. Whoever provoked this, deserves de death penalty.

To be reminded that you could just be riding down the street and it could be over in the blink of an eye. Life is precious, and very short. I pray every family and friend of this horrific tragedy overcome and heal in the name of Jesus Christ. I hope everyone involve gets therapy because this is horrifying

MAN...I was JUST DOWN there to take my sister to LAX...and I seen the smoke. Didn't know what actually happened until I saw it on the news, but DAMN, this is completely DEVASTATING.

Praying for the families at this most crucial time 😢🙏

[LifesATest-sbzi]

My homies stepdaughter and her family was the ones that passed away in that accident my condolences to him and his wife

[Whoisreal]

Dang bro! So crazy how some idiot can just delete lives like this

[dabaddestdj]

That driver of the silver Chevy traverse is blessed !!! One car away from a direct hit ! Rip to the ones that didn’t make it. 😕
