A speeding Mercedes crashed into a tree
and burst into flames Friday night in Beverly Hills in an accident
neighbors suspect was caused by illegal street racing.
Three teenage boys who were in the
Mercedes, which crashed around 11:30 p.m., were transported to the hospital with
minor injuries, according to media reports.
Neighbors said they believed they heard
a second car racing down the street at the same time as the Mercedes.
Resident Michael Chasteen told KCAL-TV that the stretch of Benedict
Canyon Drive where the accident occurred, has become popular with people who
like to race exotic cars. "The word is out that you can drive as fast as
you want, however you want, without regard to anyone's safety in Benedict
Canyon," he said.
Chasteen urged police to enforce
the speed limit.
Kenneth Price, an officer in the LAPD's
West Traffic Division said the accident was under investigation, "we can’t
say if it’s street racing or not.
