4 Killed in Baldwin Park Car Accident
The crash happened early Saturday on the westbound I-10 off-ramp at Francisquito Avenue after a California Highway Patrol pursuit.
Four people were killed in a car crash on I-10 in Baldwin Park on November 7, according to the California Highway Patrol.
How the I-10 Pursuit Crash Unfolded
The California Highway Patrol said officers tried to stop a red Toyota Corolla at about 4:10 a.m. on the westbound freeway, and that the driver failed to yield. Authorities said the car was moving at high speeds during the pursuit. The agency said the car exited at Francisquito Avenue and hit a concrete wall on the off-ramp. Officers found four unconscious occupants and gave medical aid at the scene, the CHP said. The male driver was pronounced dead there.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's office identified the driver as Daniel Moreno, 19. The three passengers, two 20-year-old men and a woman, were taken to hospitals with major injuries, and the CHP later said all three had died. The CHP said the driver was suspected of impaired driving when officers moved to stop the car.
Where the CHP Investigation Stands
The California Highway Patrol is handling the investigation. The agency said the identities of the passengers who died at hospitals are being withheld until next of kin are notified. A SigAlert was issued for the Francisquito Avenue off-ramp, and officials have not said how long it would last.
Police usually wait to release the names of the people involved until their families have been told. That is why names often come out a day or more later.

Lost someone in a crash like this?
Here is what families in California usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
