One woman died and two men were injured when a car traveling at highway speed struck a car parked on the roadside near Bel Air, California, shortly after midnight on Feb.11.

ABC7 reported that a 26-year-old Simi Valley man was driving a Mini Cooper north on the 405, with a 29-year-old woman from Laguna Beach as a passenger.
