The crash between Barnes’ vehicle and another car driven by Armando Ayon critically injured a 4-year-old girl, her sibling and her mother. Authorities said the charges could be upped to murder if the child dies. KNBC’s Robert Kovacik reported that the child is in critical condition and on life support.
LAPD Capt. Ronald Marbrey told KNBC that witnesses reported the two cars were “jockeying for position” traveling between 50 and 90 miles per hour on Sherman Way, between Balboa Blvd. and Louise Ave. at 3:12 p.m. Tuesday.
“They were cutting each other off,” Marbrey said. “At one point further down the roadway, the red Camaro slammed on his brakes and the black Nissan barely missed colliding with him.
“Further down the road, here at Amestoy (Ave.), the red Camaro [Barnes' vehicle] applied the brakes hard, the black Nissan {Ayon's vehicle] attempted to avoid a collision and swerved to the right, and collided with a silver Daewoo.”
The Daewoo subsequently slammed into the family, pinning them against another car.
"[The mother] has lost one leg and the other leg is, unfortunately, crushed. They're trying to save that," LAPD officer Jason Lee told the Associated Press.
