CHULA VISTA, Calif. — A woman was killed and two kids hurt when a street racer, driving on the wrong side of the road, ran a red light and slammed into their car head-on, Chula Vista Police Department says.

Witnesses told police they saw two drivers racing each other at high speeds and traveling west on L Street at about 6 p.m. Saturday, Chula Vista police said in a news release Sunday. One of the racing vehicles — a silver Ford Mustang — ran a red light in the wrong lane and crashed into an oncoming Nissan Altima at the intersection of L Street and Third Avenue.
