A passenger in the backseat of a vehicle was killed on the morning of Aug. 12 when it crashed into a garage at a home in South Pasadena, authorities said.
“The impact was significant enough to push a vehicle parked in the garage through the back wall,” said Sgt. Craig Phillips of the South Pasadena Police Department.
According to police, a silver 2020 Infiniti driven by 21-year-old Sun Valley resident David Silva was speeding southbound on Orange Grove Avenue and approaching Oliver Street at 1:51 a.m. Saturday when the car veered into a residential garage in the 300 block of Orange Grove Avenue.
Paramedics rushed Silva and the front-seat passenger to a hospital with moderate to severe injuries. The passenger in the backseat suffered major injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
No one inside the home was injured.
