A Los Angeles gang member with a lengthy rap sheet was involved in a deadly collision that killed three women in an Uber on Saturday.
Gregory Black, 31, was allegedly traveling at 100 mph at the intersection of South Vermont Avenue and West Century Boulevard in Westmont when he ran a red light and slammed into an Uber at around 5:25 a.m.
Juvelyn Arroyo, 23, Veronica Amezola, 23, and her 27-year-old sister Kimberly Izquierdo died in the crash when the vehicle spun five times ejecting one of the victims.
A female passenger and the Uber’s male driver survived the ordeal; Black, who was on probation in a murder case at the time of the crash, was busted and is being held on a $4 million bail.
“Kimberly had just graduated from nursing school and was achieving her goals of moving up in the medical field,” a GoFundMe page for the sisters’ family read.
“Veronica was a bright student who graduated from Cal Poly Humboldt. She spent her time doing field research amongst the Redwoods and was interested in environmental science.”
“Kimberly and Veronica are both loving sisters who did everything together.”
A fundraiser for Juvelyn was also set up to help her family with the unexpected loss.
“Please consider sharing to help us honor the memory of my sweet cousin Juvelyn Arroyo's bright and promising young life taken from us too soon as she was victim of a tragic car accident along with two of her friends,” it reads.
