A car accident in Los Angeles, California left one girl dead and several others injured after a taxi cab was struck by a Toyota Scion being driven by Los Angeles resident Willie Faulkner. Faulkner was allegedly speeding and ran a red light at the intersection of Melrose and Crescent Heights and hit the taxi which was driving through the intersection. The impact caused both vehicles to slide into traffic and both collided with other cars. The taxi was carrying five passengers, and all were seriously injured as a result of the car accident. All were taken to a nearby hospital for care, but sadly one Pasadena woman died on arrival. The other four taxi passengers were admitted for treatment. The taxi driver was treated for minor injuries and later released. Two passengers in Faulkner’s car were also taken to nearby hospital, but were treated and released the same night.
