A vehicle drove into a busy crowd of people waiting to get into a nightclub in Los Angeles early Saturday, injuring 30 people, with at least five in critical condition.
The incident took place on Santa Monica Boulevard, the city’s fire department said, and people were quickly transported to local hospitals and trauma centers.
According to Cpt Adam VanGerpen, the public information officer for the LA fire department, the line of people struck by the vehicle, a Nissan Versa, were mostly female, and were waiting to get into the nightclub when the car also hit a taco truck and a nearby valet stand.
I’m surprised the media isn’t calling this a “pedestrian-involved accident”. Usually that’s how it works when a car mows people down.
Same thing with “bike crashes” where someone in a Canyonero runs over someone on a bike.
