	Three women killed on Long Beach Freeway By Kristopher Hanson  Daily Forty-Niner Three women were killed as they changed a tire on the Long Beach Freeway on Sunday night near the Anaheim Street off-ramp. Lauren Dunn, 23, of Avalon, died early Monday at Long Beachís Saint Mary Medical Center from injuries sustained in the crash.  The other two victims -- Joanna Wilson, 23, of New London, N. H., and Lauren Entress, of Winchester, Mass. -- died at the scene. "They may have been returning from the island [Catalina] at the time of the accident," said Jana Blair, Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman. "Speed is definitely a factor in this accident, however, alcohol and drugs did not play a role in the crash," Blair said. The women were changing a tire on the northbound 710 Freeway shoulder when a black Chevrolet Camaro traveling northbound approached them at a "high rate of speed," police said. The driver of the Camaro was with two other people when the collision occurred, police said. The car clipped the rear of a Chevy Cavalier that was also traveling northbound on the 710 and sent that car spinning out of control, Blair said.  Ricardo Zamora, 20, of Torrance, was arrested at the scene and will be arraigned Tuesday at the Long Beach Court House, police said. He will be charged with either misdemeanor or felony vehicular manslaughter.  Zamora is being held at Long Beach City Jail. His bail is set at $50,000.
