The crash was reported at 1:54 a.m. at the intersection of Firestone Boulevard and Brookshire Avenue, according to Downey police Sgt. Jaime Pelayo.
A Mercedes SUV, driven by a 23-year-old man going southbound on Brookshire through the intersection, struck a Chevrolet Silverado, driven by a 34-year-old man who was going eastbound on Firestone, Pelayo said.
