Car crash kills

two, injures two

BURBANK -- A 19-year-old Glendale man and 16-year-old Burbank boy

were killed and two other passengers were injured when a 2000 Toyota

Celica crashed into a parkway tree, police said.

Arbi Garagousian, driver of the car, was traveling south on Lamer

Street about 3 p.m. Sunday when he veered off the road and struck a

tree near Keystone Street, Burbank Police Sgt. Jay Jette said.

Garagousian was pronounced dead at Providence St. Joseph Medical

Center shortly after the wreck, and the boy, Hambik Bagheri, died

about 3:45 p.m. Monday at County-USC Medical Center, Jette said.

A 15-year-old Burbank boy who was also riding in the car is still

hospitalized at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center in Mission Hills

and remains in critical condition, Jette said, adding that a

20-year-old woman was also injured but not seriously.

The crash is still under investigation. Police ask witnesses or

anyone with information to call 238-3100.
