Car crashes into Echo Park building, killing driver

A driver was killed and her passenger injured when her car struck another vehicle at a stop sign and then crashed into a brick building in Echo Park early today, police said.

The incident occurred about 2 a.m. in the 2200 block of Sunset Boulevard near Mohawk Street, said Los Angeles police Officer Karen Rayner. The driver, a woman, apparently lost control while trying to make a left turn at Mohawk. Her car hit the vehicle waiting at a stop sign, then careened into a building.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Her passenger, also a woman, was taken to a hospital in stable condition, Rayner said. The driver of the second car was treated for injuries and released at the scene, Rayner said.
