South Los Angeles, CA : 5-year-old girl, father killed after suspected DUI driver slams family's car in South LA on Monday, 1st January 2024

A 5-year-old girl and her father were killed just minutes from reaching the New Year when a speeding driver struck their family's vehicle in South Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

A family of four, including a 2-year-old, was driving down Normandie Avenue at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday when a man speeding in an SUV ran through a stop sign on 60th Place and t-boned their car, according to LAPD’s South Traffic Division.

Witnesses told NBC4 the car spun twice before hitting a large steel gate to a parking lot. A man who lives two houses away said he tried to get the two children out of the back seat.

“I came out and tried pulling out the babies, and they were all jammed in. There was nothing we could do about it,” said the man, who did not want to be identified.
