Actor and comedian Tony Baker’s son and two others were killed after suspected street racers crashed into their cars near Los Angeles, officials said.
The wreckage of several vehicles occurred around 11:50 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of Glenoaks Boulevard and Andover Drive, according to the Burbank Police Department.
Investigators said the alleged street racers, in a Kia and Mercedes Benz, collided with a Volkswagen carrying the victims.
“When police and paramedics arrived, they located three people who had been thrown from a silver Volkswagen,” the department said in a statement.
They were pronounced dead at the scene, 12 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victims as Cerain Baker, 21, of Pasadena; Jaiden Johnson, 20, of Burbank; and Natalee Moghaddam, 19, from Calabasas. The victims all died from “several blunt wounds”, according to the medical examiner.
Two other people, including a passenger in the Volkswagen and another in the Kia, were taken to hospital with serious injuries, police said. Their conditions were unknown on Friday.
No other injuries were immediately reported.
Tony Baker told NBC Los Angeles that his son’s death “felt like it wasn’t real.”
“We are getting waves of grief,” the “Whiplash” actor said. “We are sobbing uncontrollably.”
Her mother, Cherie Whitehead, called Cerain a “beautiful soul”.
It was not clear on Friday whether authorities had made any arrests.
