Los Angeles; On February 20, 2024, at 12:13 a.m., a West Valley Patrol Unit observed a Toyota Camry driving southbound Balboa Avenue without its lights on. The officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop for the infraction; however, the driver did not stop. As a result of the only violation being an infraction, officers did not pursue the vehicle.

The officers continued to drive in the Camry’s direction and observed the Camry in the distance negotiate an eastbound turn onto Ventura Boulevard. When officers reached the intersection of Ventura Boulevard and Balboa Avenue, they observed the aftermath of a single-party crash involving the Camry and a fixed object (tri-light signal). As officers deployed on the Camry, it began to smoke and caught on fire. The officers approached the vehicle and broke the vehicle’s window in an attempt to open the door and save the occupants. The officers were able to remove the two front occupants. After the front occupants were extracted, the vehicle erupted into flames preventing the officers from extracting the rear occupant. The rear passenger was trapped in the vehicle and was pronounced deceased at scene.

The Los Angeles Fire Department responded, extinguished the fire, and transported the injured to a local hospital. At the hospital, the driver was evaluated for impairment, but did not display any sign of impairment. The investigation revealed that all three occupants were friends and resided close to each other. The driver was a 14-year-old female, front passenger was an 18-year-old female, and rear passenger was a 16-year-old female.

The two survived will remember this for the rest of their life.

Imagine, letting the 14 year old be the driver... speeding... in the rain... chased by cops

I have no hate in my heart for these girls; in fact, I feel quite sorry for them. Just young and stupid, like I was. Probably just out on a joyride with their momma's car, they got stopped, panicked, took off and tragedy ensued . I'm almost reluctant to admit that I did the same kind of shit at their age (14). My friends would steal their mom's car for a night and I'd go joyriding with them. We weren't bad kids just rebelling a bit and testing out being wild. One time someone crashed into us on Main Street. I panicked and said, "DRIVE! DRIVE! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" But my friend did the right thing and exchanged info with the guy (using his fake ID ). Luckily the guy was slightly drunk. My friend had made a left-hand turn in a right-hand lane. Silly bish
