NORWALK, CA (July 16, 2018) – Two people were killed early Monday morning and four others were injured, following a suspected DUI crash on 605 Freeway.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, the collision took place at 1:06 AM on the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway at Rosecrans Avenue. A 1999 Ford Windstar, driven by 22-year-old Martina Beshara of Paramount, was disabled in the No. 3 lane when it was rear-ended by a 2006 Infiniti M45.
 
The impact of the crash caused both vehicles to burst into flames. A 52-year-old male passenger inside the minivan was able to exit the vehicle with the help of Good Samaritans, while Beshara and two other passengers – a 19-year-old woman and a 7-year-old girl – remained inside. Unfortunately, the male passenger and the 19-year-old woman succumbed to their injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene. Beshara and the girl were transported to a local hospital after suffering injuries ranging from moderate to major.
 
The Infiniti driver, 31-year-old Alex Barragan of Norwalk, and his passenger, 22-year-old Monica Madrid, were treated at the scene after sustaining minor injuries. Barragan was later arrested and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.
