Late on Monday night, a severe head-on collision near Pierce College in the Woodland Hills region claimed the lives of two individuals.
A white sedan and a Chevrolet SUV were heading on Victory Boulevard close to the intersection with Mason Avenue when the collision happened at 11:30 p.m.
According to a Los Angeles Police Department official, one eastbound vehicle reportedly entered the westbound lanes and collided with another vehicle.
A witness to the accident reported seeing a lot of firefighters arrive.
At the scene, the driver who is thought to have crossed over the lanes was declared dead.
He was described as a 20 to 30 year old Hispanic man.
The second car’s driver was transferred to a nearby hospital where he was later declared dead.
