Authorities said Monday that speeding was a factor in a four-vehicle collision on Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills that killed three men Saturday night and that they are investigating whether the crash resulted from a street race.

A 2015 Ford Mustang, whose three occupants were killed, was traveling “faster than freeway speeds” on a stretch of the busy boulevard that has a posted 40-mile per hour speed limit, said Detective William Bustos of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Valley Traffic Division.

“We have a strong suspicion street racing was involved in this, but I have to confirm it,” Bustos said.

Two of the victims were identified Monday.

One is Mubarak Al Qashout, 20, of Woodland Hills, said Ed Winter, assistant chief of operations and investigations for the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner.

The other is Adulrahman Ali, 20, said department chief Brian Elias. His residence was not available.

The third victim’s name is not being released until his family is notified.

Al Qashout was an international student from Kuwait studying mechanical engineering at Cal State Northridge, said university spokeswoman Carmen Ramos Chandler. He enrolled at CSUN in the fall of 2014, she said.

The collision occurred at 9 p.m. Saturday near Ventura Boulevard and De Soto Avenue, police said.

A black 2015 Ford Mustang traveling west on Ventura Boulevard collided with a white 2015 Mercedes that was leaving the Chevron gas station on the northwest corner.

The Mustang then struck a white 2015 Chevy Malibu that was traveling east in the opposite direction. The Mustang continued west and crashed into a black 2012 Honda Accord that was parked on the south curb on the opposite side of the street, police said.

Investigators have reviewed video of the crash and in an effort to locate possible witnesses, the LAPD released the footage Monday evening.

“It depicts the collision. It’s a very horrific impact,” Bustos said. “Unfortunately, three people lost their lives, but this could have been worse because (the driver) was driving faster than freeway speeds on city streets.”

The video, taken by the gas station’s security camera, may also yield more information.

“I am interested in two vehicles that are captured in the video: a white four-door sedan and a black pickup truck,” Bustos said. “I’m looking for them … so we can interview them.”

It is not known if the Mustang ran the red light at Ventura and De Soto, he said.

Bustos had detectives at the scene Monday to see if cameras at other businesses captured the Mustang passing through the intersection.

Two other people involved in the collision were taken to local hospitals with serious injuries while three others declined treatment at the scene, authorities said.
