A 46-year-old woman was killed Wednesday when her car was broadsided in a Lancaster intersection, authorities said.
The woman, whose name was not released pending notification of relatives, was driving east on Avenue K about 9:10 a.m. when her car was hit by a car heading south on 30th Street West, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.
She died at the scene.
The driver of the other car, Harriett Hammond, 70, of Fallbrook, was injured in the crash.
