Three people were killed Thursday when a silver sedan crashed through the 99 Ranch Market on the corner of Westwood Blvd and Rochester Ave. Several others are reported injured, with two said to be in serious condition.
The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed Thursday afternoon that all 3 victims killed at the scene were inside the grocery store’s bakery. They include two males, aged 55 and 30, and a 42-year-old woman identified as Deris Renoj.
The driver was described as an older woman, around 70 years old who remained on scene and is cooperative. Los Angeles Police Department reports confirm the driver struck a bicyclist approximately one block earlier before she veered off the road and into the market.
LAPD stated this is not being considered an intentional collision, leading to speculation that the driver may have suffered a medical emergency or a vehicle malfunction.
