A vehicle struck multiple pedestrians near a Los Angeles Metro station on the evening of Nov. 10, killing at least three people and critically injuring two others, while the driver was also hospitalized, authorities said.

The crash was reported at around 5:55 p.m. local time in the North Hollywood area, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. One vehicle was reportedly involved in the incident, though the circumstances leading up to the collision were not immediately known, the fire department said in a statement.

The vehicle was an SUV that drove onto a sidewalk near the North Hollywood Metro Station and struck a group of street vendors and pedestrians, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement on social media. Three victims were pronounced dead at the scene after emergency personnel determined they were “beyond medical help,” according to the fire department.

At least three other people were transported to hospitals, including two pedestrians in critical condition and the driver, a man in his mid-60s, according to Los Angeles Police Department Captain Warner Castillo. He said the driver was conscious after being removed from the vehicle and appeared to be in shock.

“We don’t believe there was another vehicle involved,” Castillo said at a brief news conference. “We don’t know if it was deliberate, but he’s at the hospital now and that’s why we have our experts right now testing the driver of the vehicle.”

Authorities have not released the identities of the victims or the driver involved in the incident. Investigators were gathering surveillance video and interviewing witnesses as they worked to determine what caused the crash, police said.

Vehicle ‘careened’ onto sidewalk, striking pedestrians

Joe Everett, an assistant chief with the fire department, said a battalion chief happened upon the crash scene at the corner of Chandler Boulevard and Lankershim Boulevard shortly before 6 p.m. local time and found a vehicle that had “careened into a number of people on a sidewalk.”

Police initially responded to what was reported as an assault with a deadly weapon involving a vehicle, according to Castillo. He added that authorities were investigating whether the driver may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

“First responders are on the scene, and my office is closely coordinating with City departments as authorities work to determine what caused this horrific incident,” Bass said in the statement. “I’m heartbroken for the families of everyone impacted.”
