Holiday weekends, whether in the U.S. or Canada always bring dreadful news of people dying as a result of motor vehicle accidents or otherwise. Memorial Day weekend in Southern California was no exception.
4 Dead, Including 2 Children, In South L.A. CrashLOS ANGELES Two adults and two children were killed in a six-vehicle crash in South Los Angeles on Monday afternoon.
The accident took place on the 7100 block of Crenshaw Boulevard near 73rd Street just before 6 p.m., said Karen Smith, a public information officer with the Los Angeles Police Department.
Three victims were dead when the paramedics arrived, said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Six more were transported to the hospital with "serious" injuries. Eleven people were taken with "lesser" injuries, he added.
Some of the vehicles involved in the accident may have been transporting children, police said. Children are believed to be among the victims transported to the hospital, according to local broadcast reports.
Authorities set up a triage area at 74th and Crenshaw. Vehicle fires complicated victim identification, Smith said.
"Two of the criticals are children," Smith said. "The other two have not been identified because of vehicle fires. The investigation is in the preliminary stages and I do not have information on how it occurred."(© 2008 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.

very tragic accident started when a van took a red light and started the chain reaction hitting a van stopped a the light it was two adults and 3 children a 12yr, 7yr old and a 4 year that passed away and 1 child survived ( sadly a twin that lost his/her other half) also police said the other 2 people who passed away where from the vehicle who ran the light.... very traggic story I remember watching very disturbing videos where u could still see them move and scream while now one could help them anymore because of the fire.....A reminder to think that when driving.....Never drink or get distracted every second count regardless if it night or day....Keep ur eyes open and alert .....
