A San Fernando man died after he lost control of his car and smashed into five other vehicles on Saturday afternoon.
Police believe Gerard Dumas, 67, of Hillview Gardens, Green Acres, died while heading to a drug store to get medication.
Eyewitness Marvin Waldrop said Dumas, also known as Jimmy, was driving along Sutton Street when the accident occurred.
“I was coming down the hill from Charlie’s Pudding and then I saw a vehicle speeding from Irving Park. I jumped out of the way, and then he hit Raj’s car with an impact. His car then spun in the air and landed on the hood on the opposite side of the road,” he said.
Waldrop said bystanders rushed to assist Dumas and hurriedly pulled him out of the car but he was already dead.
His relatives arrived at the scene but declined to comment.
An autopsy is expected to be done on the body on Monday. San Fernando Police are continuing investigations.
