Compton, CA (June 29, 2025) — A devastating crash involving three vehicles claimed two lives Friday night near a busy Compton intersection.
According to reports, deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Compton station responded around 9:17 p.m. on June 27 to the scene near Atlantic Avenue and Sportsman Drive, just east of the 710 Freeway overpass. Investigators say one vehicle was traveling southbound on Atlantic Avenue when it collided with a second vehicle under the freeway bridge. The impact caused the first vehicle to continue southbound, striking a third vehicle moments later.
Tragically, the occupants of the first and third vehicles were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the second car suffered serious injuries and was transported to a local hospital for further treatment. Video footage showed emergency crews using extraction tools to free victims from the mangled wreckage, which came to rest on a bridge over the Los Angeles River. The exact cause of the fatal collision remains under investigation by local authorities.
