Two people were killed and a deputy was hurt after a Los Angeles Sheriff's Department patrol car collided with an SUV, officials said.
The collision between the patrol car and Ford Explorer happened about 4:30 p.m. near 17th Street East and Avenue R in Palmdale, said California Highway Patrol Capt. Gretchen Jacobs.
Officials have not said who was at fault in the crash.
It's unknown whether the Explorer stopped for a stop sign or not, and we have conflicting information about that," Jacobs said. Officials did not know the speed either of the vehicles was traveling, she said.
The Ford Explorer had four people inside when it spun out of control. The driver and front passenger were not hurt, but a man and woman in the backseat were thrown from the SUV and killed, officials said.

The woman's family were screaming and crying as they mourned their loss.
"My daughter is dead, she is dead," the woman's father could be seen screaming. "That is not ok."
