2 killed on 110 Freeway in South LA

Two women were killed when they were ejected from a car in a solo vehicle crash on the 110 Freeway in South Los Angeles overnight.

LOS ANGELES - Authorities said two teens were killed in a gruesome crash on the 110 Freeway in South Los Angeles early Thursday morning.

The crash occurred on the southbound lanes of the freeway between the exits of Slauson and Vernon avenues around 1:40 a.m., officials with the California Highway Patrol said.

CHP investigators said a driver and passenger were ejected from a gray Nissan after it hit an embankment, went airborne and flipped on its side. After they were ejected, they were then run over. Investigators said the second driver stayed at the scene and was cooperating.

The two victims were pronounced dead at the scene and were later identified by the LA County coroner's office as 19-year-old Stephanie Guerra and 18-year-old Ashley Salinas.

All lanes on the southbound side of the freeway were briefly shut down for the investigation.
