Car Runs Onto Sidewalk, Killing Baby and Critically Injuring Teen
And infant was killed and a 16-year-old girl critically injured in Glassell Park Thursday night when a car skidded in the rain and struck them, police said.
The teenager was in extremely critical condition at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center with massive head injuries.
The infant girl was taken to Glendale Adventist Hospital where she died.
Another young girl who was with them suffered a broken leg and was treated at County-USC Medical Center.
The three were on the sidewalk in the 3300 block of San Fernando Road around 8:30 p.m. when a vehicle “skidded on a water pocket,” said Sgt. Zimmie Williams. “A witness saw the car barrel into three pedestrians, who were thrown like trash cans they were hit so violently.”
The driver was not arrested, Williams said, because the incident appeared to be accidental.
