Two people were killed and two others serious injured Wednesday morning in a traffic crash in Pasadena, authorities said.
The crash happened about 7 a.m. at Lake Avenue and East Villa Street, Lisa Derderian of the Pasadena Fire Department said.
Pasadena police said a maroon Ford Mustang was traveling southbound on Lake Avenue, when a blue SUV turned left onto East Villa Street in front of the Mustang. The cars collided, sending the Mustang into a light pole.
The driver of the Mustang died at the scene, and the front passenger died after being transported to a hospital.
Two other passengers in the Mustang were injured and listed in serious but stable condition. All the passengers in the Mustang were described as men possibly in their early 20s.
The driver of the SUV, described as an adult female, sustained minor injuries, authorities said.
