The girl’s car, a Toyota Camry, then collided with a Toyota Sienna van headed east on Angeleno Avenue, and was sent spiraling from the impact toward two pedestrians, Lt. Ron Caruso said.
“The driver of the Camry left the scene but was found three blocks away,” he said.
She was found at Glenoaks Boulevard and Angeleno Avenue, Irving said.
“They found the suspect’s vehicle parked behind a Fosters Freeze, in the parking lot,” he said. “She was standing outside her car.”
The two pedestrians, the unidentified Lynwood woman and Jose Rivera, 53, of Lancaster, were on the southeast corner when the Sienna hit them.
Both were taken to Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center within minutes of the accident, as was the driver of the Sienna, Young Youn, a 46-year-old woman from Burbank, Irving said.
“Paramedics were on scene within minutes of the collision,” he said. “The female pedestrian was transported to Saint Joseph’s Medical Center, where she succumbed to her injuries. Mr. Rivera and Ms. Youn were treated at the hospital for complaints of pain.”
The cause of death has not yet been identified, as police wait for the official report from the L.A. County coroner, Irving said.
The girl was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and for leaving the scene of a fatal traffic accident, he said.
Police are seeking more information and are asking anyone with new details to call Det. Joe Dean at (818) 238-3100.
