La Mirada~An early morning crash occurred in La Mirada this morning killing two people, resulting in one arrest, but not who you think.

A truck reportedly was traveling at a high rate of speed, near 100 mph, southbound on Santa Gertrudes Avenue about 2:04 a.m this morning.

After striking a vehicle exiting a housing tract westbound on Lawnhill Drive, the truck became out of control and struck a large tree near Benton Middle School, across the street from Beatitudes of our Lord church, just south of Olive Branch drive. The crash killed the driver and the only passenger.

In a twist, the driver of the vehicle that was hit when exiting Lawnhill, was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.
