A total of two cars were involved, but it’s unclear what led to the fiery crash. Video aired during Today in LA on Sunday April 17, 2022.
Two women were killed Sunday when a car rear-ended another car on the Pomona (60) Freeway, authorities said.
A 24-year-old man also suffered minor injuries in the crash on the eastbound freeway, west of Reservoir Street, which occurred a little after 2:05 a.m., the California Highway Patrol reported.
A woman driving a 2019 Honda Civic was travelling at "an unsafe speed" and rear-ended a 2013 Toyota Camry that had stopped to avoid a previous crash ahead, the CHP said. That woman and a 23- year-old woman from Chino -- a passenger in the Camry -- were pronounced dead at the scene.
Paramedics rushed the driver of the Camry, a 24-year man from Chino, to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center with minor injuries. Alcohol is not suspected to be a factor in the crash.
