A devastating car crash in Los Angeles early Sunday morning has left 31 people injured, including several in critical condition, after a vehicle drove into a crowd of pedestrians.
According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, more than 100 firefighters rushed to the scene. At least three individuals were critically injured, while six others sustained serious wounds. Authorities have not confirmed the cause of the crash, though initial police investigations suggest the driver may have lost consciousness before striking the crowd.
The vehicle reportedly mounted the pavement where a line of people was standing, also hitting a mobile Mexican food vendor and a clothing rack. However, these details remain unverified.
The crash occurred near high-traffic locations, including Sunset Boulevard and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The area is known for heavy footfall, particularly during late-night hours.
Shocking footage posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) showed emergency crews blocking off the road and transporting victims to nearby hospitals. The grey vehicle involved was seen heavily damaged, having come to a stop on the sidewalk outside a popular entertainment venue known as The Vermont.
CNN reported that the collision happened shortly before 2:00 am local time and near a local concert hall. Authorities have yet to release information about the driver’s identity or confirm whether intoxication or mechanical failure played a role in the incident.
The crash has renewed concerns over pedestrian safety in nightlife districts, especially in areas known for large crowds and late-night gatherings.
