Man Killed as Racing Car Spins Out of Control
A 20-year-old Granada Hills man was killed Monday when the car he was reportedly driving in a race on a public street spun out of control, Los Angeles police said.
Few details were available on the 4:51 p.m. crash. The two cars speeding down Balboa Boulevard hit several other cars--possibly up to nine, said LAPD Officer Mark Snyder.
One driver, whose name was not released pending notification of his family, died at the scene. Paramedics took a 75-year-old man to Granada Hills Community Hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Jim Wells said.
Five other people were treated at the scene for minor injuries, he said.
