The other car caught fire and the three people inside, Earl Gose, who was driving, his wife, Golda, and his unmarried sister, Grace, were pulled from the blaze. Their car burned to a charred hulk. LeSueur suffered severe cuts and bruises on his hands, face, arms and legs. The other people were also seriously injured. All were taken to a hospital in Hollywood. The injuries of Grace Gose proved fatal three days later.

LeSueur's mother, Anna, and his ex-wife, Kasha, accompanied him to the Coroner's inquest on November 15. Earl and Golda Gose were unable to appear.
