At approximately 12:11 p.m. Feb 5 2026, a 92-year-old female driver first struck a bicyclist near the intersection of Westwood Boulevard and Wellworth Avenue. She then continued south for another block before swerving and slamming through the glass front of the market.
Three people died at the scene: two store employees and one customer. One of the victims was identified as 42-year-old Deris Renjo; the others were men aged 30 and 55.
Six others were injured, including two men in critical condition and the bicyclist, who declined hospital transport.
Investigation: Authorities have described the crash as accidental, possibly caused by a medical emergency or pedal error (pressing the gas instead of the brake). The driver stayed at the scene and is cooperating with investigators.
The Westwood 99 Ranch Market remains closed as the building has been yellow-tagged by safety inspectors.
