Burbank street-racing: Victim's loved ones demand crackdown, arrests after crash that killed 3

BURBANK, Calif. (KABC) -- Anguished friends and loved ones of 21-year-old Cerain Baker, who was among three innocent victims killed in a violent crash caused by street racing, gathered outside Burbank City Hall on Tuesday to demand arrests in the case.

The demonstrators gathered to protest excessive speeding and negligent driving in the city.

Last week, three young adults were killed in a violent multi-vehicle crash that left their car split in half. Police said the collision was caused by two other vehicles that were street racing at the time.

One of the victims -- 21-year-old Cerain Baker, was featured often in videos produced by his father, well-known comedian Tony Baker.

On Tuesday, the elder Baker posted a video to his Instagram thanking fans for their support in the aftermath of his son's death.
