A young South Bay couple, Alexandra R., 20, and Dante D., 25, were tragically killed in a two-car collision while traveling to a music festival in Inglewood on Sunday, August 3, 2025.
The couple from Imperial Beach had attended the first night of the Hard Summer Music Festival at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles and were returning for the second night when the crash occurred.
According to Inglewood Police, the Volkswagen Jetta, driven by Alexander, collided with a Tesla SUV when attempting to make a left turn. The four occupants of the Tesla sustained minor injuries, while the couple both died after being taken to the hospital.
The investigation is expected to take several months, and family members have set up GoFundMe campaigns to support the families during this tragic time.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
