Police in California are searching Thursday for a hit-and-run driver believed to have been street racing before causing a fiery crash that resulted in the deaths of a rideshare driver and a mother of four young children, reports say.

"We do believe that the Challenger was involved in street racing," Los Angeles County sheriff’s Detective Liz Sherman told KABC-TV.    The man driving the Toyota was flung from the car, but a woman passenger was trapped in the burning vehicle, according to The Associated Press.
