Three people have been killed and nine others injured after a driver hit a group of pedestrians at a Christmas concert outside a California church.

The woman driver, who has not been named, was driving a white sedan when she ran a red light in Redondo Beach, careering into the pedestrians and hitting another vehicle after.

Eye witness Marco Zonno told KNBC-TV: "The crosswalk was full and the light was red. Someone ran the red light and bodies started flying. It was pretty horrible."
