SAN MARINO, CA (July 4, 2019) – Gabriel Crispo, 49, was killed while walking his dog when two cars street racing crashed and struck them in the center media.
Crispo was walking his dog on Huntington Drive around 10:35 a.m. when two cars that were allegedly street racing crashed into each other, causing one to spin out and strike Crispo in the center media.

Both Crispo and his dog were pronounced dead at the scene.
The San Marino Police Department stated that witnesses recalled seeing a white Mercedes-Benz and a blue Toyota racing each other westbound on Huntington Drive, near Kenilworth Avenue, prior to the fatal accident. Two 17-year old boys have been arrested following the crash, on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter.
