A man and woman in their 80s were killed when their SUV crashed off a freeway transition road in the Boyle Heights area and hit a tree, authorities said Thursday.
The crash occurred about 8 p.m. Wednesday on the transition from the northbound Santa Ana (101) Freeway to the eastbound San Bernardino (10) Freeway, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The 2012 Kia Sedona was driven by Frank Anthony Palminteri, 89, of Covina, who died at the scene, according to the CHP and the coroner’s office.
An 86-year-old Covina woman riding with him died at County-USC Medical Center, the CHP reported. Authorities withheld her name pending notification of next of kin.
The relationship of the two victims was not immediately known.
According to the preliminary investigation, the crash “due to (the man) making an unsafe turning movement in his Kia Sedona,” a CHP statement said.
Neither alcohol nor drugs were believed to be factors in the crash, the statement said.
Anyone with more information on the case was urged to call the CHP Central Area office at 213-744-2331.
