A white couple in California have been filmed screaming 'only white lives matter' and doing a Nazi salute in front of a Mexican woman and her black boyfriend after tailing them in their pickup truck.
Itzel Lopez says she and her boyfriend were driving home from a restaurant after her birthday dinner in Torrance, just outside Los Angeles, on Wednesday night when they spotted the truck following them.
They said the couple followed them for several miles before overtaking them and stopping at a traffic light.
Lopez said the white couple immediately got out of their truck and started hurling racist remarks at them.

She started filming as the woman approached her car and yelled: 'White lives matter b***h' while flipping her off.
As the woman walked away she screamed: 'Only white lives matter b***h.'
Meanwhile, the man approached from the other side and waved before throwing his arm into a Nazi salute.
Lopez's boyfriend could be heard in the background saying 'That's white power' before Lopez added 'Crazy the sh*t we have to go through in 2020'.
Police are investigating the incident as a hate crime.
In the footage, the white couple could be seen getting back in their truck briefly before reemerging just moments later.

The woman came back with her cellphone and tried to film Lopez and her boyfriend.
The man got out of the truck and retrieved a pole before striking their car repeatedly as they drove off.
Their car was left with a dent and scratch following the ordeal.
The couple say they have no idea why the pair followed or targeted them.
'We were just in shock. We didn't know what was going. Why were they doing it? They don't know us. They were being really mean and racist,' Lopez told KTLA.
'I was afraid. I didn't know what they had in their car. I just wanted to get home.
'We want to get justice because it's not right. I don't want them to just go freely and continue to do this to someone else.'
