Byline: Daily News staff and wire services

At least two people, one of them an infant, were killed in an Antelope Valley car crash Monday, and a wrong-way driver died on the Foothill Freeway in Pasadena. They were among at least 10 fatalities over the Labor Day weekend in the Los Angeles area.

The California Highway Patrol reported there were at least 31 road fatalities statewide over the holiday weekend.

The Antelope Valley crash happened at about 12:40 p.m. at Avenue K and 150th Street in Lancaster, said CHP Officer Ken Lane.

Further details of the crash were not immediately available.

In Pasadena, an Alhambra man driving the wrong way on the Foothill Freeway early Monday morning slammed into a wall and was pronounced dead at the scene, CHP officials said.

It was the fourth crash in two weeks involving a driver traveling against traffic - and the second over the holiday weekend.

Los Angeles County firefighters in a fire rig Monday spotted the Toyota Camry and tried to get the driver to stop but he ignored them, said county fire dispatcher Gary Wise.

``We were following him from the right lane, and we even tried to make contact with him. In fact, we did once,'' Wise said. ``But he just kept going, then he crashed his car into the center divider and it burst into flames.''

No other vehicles were involved and no other individuals were injured in the crash, Lane said.

The man, whose name was not released Monday, was driving a burgundy-colored 1988 Honda Accord and traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes of the Foothill Freeway.

In San Marino, one person died in a two-car collision in San Marino on Sunday, a police dispatcher said.

The collision at Huntington Drive and Los Robles Avenue was reported to authorities about 8:20 a.m., said dispatcher Lisa Skates.

The driver of a westbound vehicle was killed when the car collided with another vehicle going north on Los Robles, she said.

Two other people were taken to a hospital with minor injuries, the dispatcher said.

``During a holiday weekend, there is always a threat of fatalities when you have people trying to get home and also people going to picnics and drinking,'' Lane said.

Last year, there were six reported car crashes or collisions resulting in death in the Los Angeles area and 28 statewide, said CHP Officer Garry Goldenberg.
