BURBANK (CBSLA) – Three people were killed and one person was sent to the hospital in a fiery multi-car wreck in Burbank late Tuesday night that investigators believe was caused by street racing.
“I heard the biggest collision in my life,” Dwip Biswas, a homeowner who lives by the crash site.

The collision occurred at 11:50 p.m. in the area of Andover Drive and Glenoaks Boulevard.
One of the victims who died was Cerian Baker, 21, of Pasadena. He graduated from John Burroughs High School in 2018. Friends said he was a football player, artist, and musician.
Jaiden Johnson, 20 of Burbank, and Natale Maghaddam, 19, of Calabasas also died in the crash. A fourth person is hospitalized.
According to Burbank police, surveillance cameras showed a Kia and a Mercedes street racing when one of the cars slammed into a Volkswagen that was making a left turn.
The Volkswagen, which was carrying four people, split into several pieces and caught fire. Three of its occupants were killed on scene and the fourth was rushed to a hospital in serious condition, police said.
“It’s a very sad, sad day for multiple families,” Burbank police Sgt. Emil Brimway told reporters. “We have three lost individuals who have passed for something that was absolutely preventable.”

“They didn’t find the boy’s body in the trees for at least 15 to 20 minutes,” Michael Weston, who lives nearby, told CBSLA.
The two street racing cars made it a little further down the street before also careening into several parked cars. The driver of the Kia was also taken to a hospital, police disclosed. His condition was unknown.

“Based on the fact that the vehicles were traveling for several blocks, side by side, at a very high rate of speed, I believe that they were racing,” Brimway said.
Investigators were interviewing the driver and passenger of the Mercedes.
