2 dead, 2 injured after crash on 91 Freeway in Cerritos

A man and a woman were killed and two other people were injured during a multi-car crash on the 91 Freeway in Cerritos. 

Officers say that the crash happened at around 6:30 a.m. on the road connecting eastbound lanes of SR-91 to the southbound I-605 Freeway, according to the California Highway Patrol. 

Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics took two people to the hospital for injuries they suffered during the crash. Their conditions were not immediately known. 

Two others were pronounced dead at the scene. They were identified late Sunday as Jabarri Adams and Ruby Perez. Both were 25-years-old. 

Investigators say that the crash happened when a box truck became disabled in the No. 2 lanes after colliding with a pickup truck. They were then struck from behind by a Honda Accord, which killed both occupants of the car, CHP investigators said. 

As their investigation continued, all eastbound lanes of the 91 at the 605 were closed until a little before noon.
