Inglewood, California - Jacqueline Davis, 90, and Angela Davis, 69, Killed in Five-Vehicle Crash

Inglewood, California (August 8, 2026) - Two women died and two others were seriously injured in a five-vehicle crash near North La Brea Avenue and East Beach Avenue in Inglewood on Saturday morning, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified the two who died as Jacqueline Davis, 90, and Angela Davis, 69. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

The crash happened around 8:45 a.m. on the morning of August 8. Five vehicles were involved, though the events leading up to the collision were not immediately determined.

Two other people were taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. An investigation into the crash remains ongoing, and no further details were available. This is a developing story. Details may change as the investigation continues.

Losing two family members in the same crash, at opposite ends of a lifetime, leaves a family carrying two griefs at once.

What to Do After a Fatal Multi-Vehicle Accident in California

Can a family pursue a claim while the cause is still under investigation?

Yes. A wrongful death claim doesn't have to wait for investigators to finish their work, and early evidence preservation often matters more while facts are still fresh.

What can a wrongful death claim cover?

Funeral and burial costs, the financial support the family has lost, and the loss of the relationship itself are all typically part of a wrongful death claim in California.

Who may be liable in a five-vehicle crash?

With five vehicles involved and the cause not yet determined, more than one driver could share responsibility. California's pure comparative fault rule allows recovery even when liability is split among several parties.

What is the filing deadline?

California generally allows two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim (CCP § 377.60), which puts the deadline at August 8, 2028.
