Three people have been killed and several others injured after a car crashed into a group of Christians leaving a church service in California.

Police suspect the driver could have been drunk when she hit the people, including a number of children, outside St James Catholic church, Redondo Beach, Wednesday night.

Witness Marc Zonno told KNBC: “The crosswalk was full, and the light was red. Someone ran a red light and… bodies started flying…It was pretty horrible.”

The people were leaving a Christmas pageant at the church when the incident happened.

A woman is being charged with manslaughter.

Police have only identified two victims – 81-year-old Mary Anne Wilson and 87-year-old Saeko Matsumura.

The church stayed open through the night to let people pray for the dead and injured.
