Formal pronouncement of death was made on Friday at 12:36 a.m.
The accident happened at around 11:30 p.m. Thursday by the intersection of Third Street and Rimpau Boulevard in the 90004.
Street racing may be to blame after a driver was killed when a car slammed into a home in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles late Thursday night, sparking a fire.
The crash occurred in the 200 block of South Rimpau Boulevard.
Two cars were traveling east on 3rd Street, possibly racing, when the driver of one of them, a Mercedes, lost control. The Mercedes hit a curb and the launched into the air and struck a tree adjacent to the garage of the home.
The car, tree and garage all caught fire. Los Angeles Fire Department crews were called to the scene to extinguish the blaze.
The driver died at the scene.
The family inside the home was not hurt. A little girl had stepped out of her bedroom, which is near the garage, prior to the collision.
The home has been yellow-tagged due to structure concerns. City inspectors were expected to examine it Friday.
