SHERMAN OAKS — A 20-year-old woman was killed Wednesday night when her car crashed into another as she made a U-turn near Sherman Oaks Fashion Square.
The woman, whose name was not available, was attempting to make a U-turn while driving west on Riverside Drive near Woodman Avenue when she collided with a car in an adjacent lane about 8:55 p.m., said Los Angeles Police Department Officer Bill Mulvihill.
