Shocking footage shows underage girl moments after crashing car in SoCal drag race
A juvenile girl miraculously walked away after totaling her car during a dangerous drag racing crash in Long Beach.
Officers responded to the scene at Spring Street and Kilroy Airport Way around 11:51 p.m. on Friday after the wreck damaged a traffic control box, knocking out the light signals at the intersection, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
Witnesses say the juvenile female crashed her car while racing a BMW at speeds around 90 to 100 miles per hour. They say she fishtailed and lost control while rounding a curve near the city’s airport, crashing.ONSCENE.TV
Dramatic video from the scene minutes after the crash showed the driver — only described by police as a juvenile — panicking over her decimated vehicle as bystanders checked in. Through tears, the girl said she was driving the car and had no passengers.
Her overturned vehicle appeared mangled and resting on its side next to a concrete wall.
“The preliminary investigation revealed the overturned vehicle had been traveling eastbound Spring Street racing a second vehicle before the driver lost control. The other vehicle did not remain on scene,” police told The Post.
