A man and a woman were killed in a high-speed car crash early Tuesday in a residential area of Altadena.

Officers were called around 1 a.m. to 64 West Loma Alta and Loma View Drive where they found an overturned vehicle engulfed in flames, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Officials said the car was driving around 60 mph in a 30 mph zone before it crashed into a parked car along the street and rolled over.
