At least three people are dead and three critically injured, after a car struck pedestrians on a Los Angeles corner during Tuesday rush hour, authorities said.
The fatal crash took place near a North Hollywood metro station.
The driver, whose identity remains unknown, is hospitalized in critical condition, according to Los Angeles police. The three injured people were also taken to area hospitals for treatment, according to an online statement posted by the the LA fire department. The fire and police departments did not offer additional details on the deadly crash.
A local CBS News affiliate station reported that the car crashed into a food stand near a bus stop along a major thoroughfare, Lankershim Boulevard, that runs through the busy NoHo commercial and arts district in the city’s San Fernando Valley.
Aerial news video footage of the scene showed a white-colored, partially crumpled small SUV that appeared to have run up onto the sidewalk and into the side of a mass-transit shelter structure.
An investigation remains under way.
