Driver Strikes Four People on Sidewalk, Killing Three

Two of the three people that died at the scene were minors, including a 14-year-old girl and 17-year-old boy

Four people were walking on the sidewalk when they were hit by a red car that spun out of control and hit a wall in Bloomington on Sunday night.

California Highway Patrol confirmed that three of the pedestrians died at the scene, while one person was rushed to the hospital. Two of the three people that died at the scene were minors, including a 14-year-old girl and 17-year-old boy. A 20-year-old man also died when the driver of a red Dodge Challenger lost control of the car.

A fourth woman was rushed to the hospital.

The crash occured at approximately 8:40 p.m. on Slover Avenue, near the intersection with Locust Avenue, near Bloomington High School.

The CHP told NBC4 News that the driver of the car was cooperating and did not leave the scene of the crash. Alcohol was not initially identified as a factor, but residents said that street racing has been a problem in the area.

The CHP was investigating if speed was a factor, with the posted speed limit on Slover Avenue at 50 mph.
