LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Two women identified as twin sisters were killed Sunday after being hit by a truck on a South Los Angeles street.

Officer Norma Eisenman of the Los Angeles Police Department says the incident began as a fight between the pair that spilled onto the streets. It occurred about 3 a.m. on Leimert Boulevard just north of 43rd Street.

“The altercation they were having ended up out on the street somehow,” Eisenman said. “They were both struck by a vehicle.”

A woman, who witnessed the crash, told KNX 1070′s Ed Mertz that a heavyset woman was pulling a thinner woman by the hair.

That’s when the eyewitness says a nearby traffic light turned green and a truck came through and struck the women.

“He hit the bodies and rode them over and the thinner girl who was on her knees just propelled like in the air and then when he got to her body again, he just rolled over,” the eyewitness said.

Eisenman said both women were pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver did return to the scene, according to the eyewitness . An investigation was ongoing.

How do they know they were twins, one was fat the other thin?!

The Gene pool got a little shallower. Not much anyone can say about this. I’m sorry for the family but there is no cure for stupid.

Possibly paternal.

They’ve probably identified the sisters, but haven’t released any personal details.

“He hit the bodies and rode them over and the thinner girl who was on her knees just propelled like in the air and then when he got to her body again, he just rolled over,” the eyewitness said.

I'd like to diagram that sentence, but the nuns would kill me.

Strangely I find myself unmoved.

[BIV]

No wonder; you weren’t hit.

[chris37]

LMAO :D

“He hit the bodies and rode them over and the thinner girl who was on her knees just propelled like in the air and then when he got to her body again, he just rolled over,” the eyewitness said

Can we get a translation of this sentence?

[chopperman]

Let’s see. He was driving at three in the morning and they were out on the street fighting, where they should not have been, and he didn’t see them.

If Obama had sisters, it would have been them.

The trucker is obviously a racist.

[JohnBrowdie]

It was south LA. We’re fortunate the witness spoke English.

[stickywillie]

i don’t know LA neighborhoods. were these twins cracker chicks?

[Lurker]

That was English?

[Revolting cat!]

That's also my question. Is there an Amish community in LA?

[Lockbar]

[Revolting cat!]

Or they might have been Hispanic!
