This happened around past six pm. The driver obviously had too much to drink. He started by hitting a LAGBUS in front of him before hitting other vehicles. His wife also died in the accident. An eye witness who happen to be a friend was also affected;his car was bashed.

Which of the vehicles caused the accident. Was it the LAGBUS, the vigilante pick up or the Rover Jeep?

Unfortunately, even innocent people who had nothing to do with the speed become victims. May their souls RIP.

The Way Some People Speed On That Bridge Is Something To Be Concerned About. Sometimes You Would See Some People Going On 180 And You Will Be Like... Where The Heck Are They Running To.
