Fiery street racing crash on 110 Freeway in South L.A. caught on video
Two suspected street racers caused a fiery crash on the 110 Freeway in South Los Angeles early Sunday morning, sending four vehicles careening across all northbound lanes. The chaos — caught on dramatic video — unfolded around 2:30 a.m. near Florence Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol. CHP officials said the incident involved two separate collisions and is being investigated as a hit-and-run. Footage obtained by KTLA shows a white and a black sedan weaving dangerously between vehicles, appearing to race while recklessly cutting off other drivers. At the start of the video, the white car leads, with the black car close behind. As the white car swerves around an uninvolved driver, the black car attempts to follow — but fails destructively. The black sedan then cuts across three lanes and, instead of squeezing in between and beyond the two cars on either side, slams into the bystander on the right, triggering a violent chain reaction. The first car struck spins out, sending sparks flying across the freeway before slamming into a guardrail. On its way, it hits another car, which then shoots down the Gage Avenue exit at high speed. The force of the initial impact also sends the suspect vehicle ricocheting into another car on its left. That vehicle is pushed across five lanes before it appears to regain control near the center median. CHP and Los Angeles Fire Department crews arrived shortly after, shutting down all northbound lanes to assess damage and check for injuries. LAFD confirmed no one was transported from the scene. It remains unclear whether any arrests were made, but news stringer service reports that the black sedan and three other badly damaged vehicles were towed from the scene. The white sedan believed to be involved reportedly fled without stopping. Luis Zuniga contributed to this report. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
