Crashes Kill Driver, Motorcyclists

Three people, two of them riding motorcycles, died in traffic accidents over the weekend, police said.

In Granada Hills, a motorcyclist traveling west on San Fernando Mission Boulevard ran off the road and crashed into a brick wall at Baird Avenue at 12:10 a.m. Sunday, Los Angeles police said. The 19-year-old Granada Hills man, whose name was withheld pending notification of relatives, was pronounced dead at the scene.

In another accident about 20 minutes later, a car traveling south on Wilbur Avenue in Reseda ran into a parked flatbed trailer loaded with lumber between Valerio and Wyandotte streets.

Goretti Itoka, 38, of Panorama City, the only person in the car, died at the scene, police said.

On Saturday, a motorcyclist sideswiped a 1965 Mustang at 9:50 p.m. at Brand and Colorado boulevards in Glendale, police said.

The motorcyclist, apparently in his 20s, was taken to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. His name was not released. The occupants of the Mustang were not injured, Glendale police said, and no citations were issued.
