"3 dead after BMW hits Studio City pizzeria, bursts into flames" by Frank Shyong

   In the Los Angeles Times, Frank Shyong wrote an article about a BMW that crashed into a Studio City pizzeria and killed three people including the driver. When the car hit Reno's pizzeria the gas line severed and the car burst into flames. According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, about fifty firefighters rushed to the scene and in about twenty minutes put out the fire. In the car along with the driver were two passengers, who were pronounced dead at the scene. Although authorities do not know the exact cause of the crash and investigation is pending, according to friends of the driver, the victims were returning from a birthday party and that alcohol was involved. "When the car immolates like that, identification and stuff like that are iffy," said Sgt. Kurt Smith of the Valley Traffic Division of the Los Angeles Police Department. There was two identification cards found at the scene that indicate two victims were male, but the third card is still being looked for. Stories like this are very important and have a lesson behind them, the first is that one should not be driving recklessly especially when there are lives at risk besides the drivers, and two one should not drive under the influence of alcohol.
