WINNETKA (CNS) - Police said Monday that excessive speed may have caused a three-vehicle crash in Winnetka that killed three men and injured six other people.
The crash was reported about 9 p.m. Sunday in the 19700 block of Vanowen Street., according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart.
Two 30-year-old men and one 25-year-old man died at the scene, their names withheld pending notification of relatives, Stewart said.
