- Share via
An alleged drunk driver smashed into a Wilmington coin laundry Thursday, killing a woman 7 months pregnant and injuring three others. However, doctors saved the woman’s unborn child at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
Another woman was critically injured but the other two victims, also women, were treated and released. The victims were not immediately identified.
The driver was treated for minor injuries and was to be booked for manslaughter and drunk driving, said Los Angeles Police Sgt. Geoff Taylor.
Taylor said the suspect had been parked outside the laundry on West Anaheim Street and apparently hit the accelerator instead of the brake when he started to drive away.
