1 Dead, 3 Injured In 4-Vehicle Crash In Westwood

WESTWOOD (CBSLA.com)  —   One person is dead and three others injured in a four-vehicle crash in Westwood, authorities said.

The crash occurred in the 10200 block of Sunset Boulevard, just east of Beverly Glen.

One person was declared dead at the scene, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The deceased had to be extricated out of their vehicle, officials said.

Two other people reportedly sustained moderate injuries. The other victim was described to have minor injuries.

Officials told KCAL9's Cristy Fajardo that a Maserati going west veered into the eastbound lane striking a Honda.

The Honda driver was killed. The victim was described as a woman in her mid-50s. The woman's husband and daughter were also in the vehicle. He suffered fractured ribs,  the couple's daughter will be okay.

Police said the driver of the Maserati was not hurt.  They also told Fajardo the Maserati driver is also being "extremely cooperative."

Police ruled out alcohol as a factor in the crash but said speeding might have been involved

"The Honda that was traveling eastbound, was struck in the front and driver's side, by the Maserati. So the Maserati, right before impact, for some reason, and we don't know why at this time, veered sharply to the left and into the eastbound lanes," said Sgt. Mark Guardado with the LAPD.

Officials could not yet say if the Maserati driver will face charges.

Police described the crash site as a dangerous stretch of road.

A few feet from Saturday's crash, the scene of another deadly accident in February. In that crash, actress Salma Hayek's brother, Sami, lost control of his car killing his passenger, 43-year-old Ian Cutler, an award-winning art director.
