The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner in California on November 12 identified two of the three women killed when a minivan crashed outside a Metro station in North Hollywood. The two women are Teodora Villalobos, 57, and Maria Peck, 73, and the examiner office said both died of blunt force injuries.

Villalobos and Peck were food vendors in the North Hollywood neighborhood. On Tuesday evening, November 10, at the height of the evening commute, the minivan plowed into the sidewalk near the intersection of Lankershim and Chandler boulevards, killing them and a third woman.

The examiner office said in an email on Thursday that the third victim has not been identified publicly, pending notification of family.
