1 Killed and 2 Critical After Crash on Anaheim Street in Wilmington

WILMINGTON, CA (March 28, 2026) — One person died, and two others were hospitalized in critical condition after a two-car crash on Anaheim Street late Saturday night.

According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, crews responded to the 2500 block of Anaheim Street at about 10:10 p.m. 

Firefighters extricated two people from the wreckage, including a 35-year-old woman who was taken to the hospital in critical condition. 

The other trapped occupant died at the scene.

Authorities also said a woman believed to be about 40 years old was ejected from her vehicle during the crash. 

Emergency responders transported her to the hospital in critical condition.

Officials did not immediately identify the person who died.

Just after 3:30 a.m. Sunday, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department said one of the vehicles involved had been traveling eastbound on Anaheim Street at a high rate of speed when it collided with another vehicle that was also heading eastbound.

Police said the force of the collision caused both vehicles to strike a third vehicle parked nearby. 

Video evidence showed that the parked vehicle was a semi-truck.

Investigators have not yet determined whether impairment played a role in the crash.
