Five people were injured after several pedestrians were struck during a multivehicle crash Thursday night in the Boyle Heights area, police said.
The crash occurred shortly after 7:20 p.m. in the area of Indiana Street and Whittier Boulevard, according to Los Angeles Police Department Officer Tony Im. The location is on the border of East L.A. and Boyle Heights.
Im could not confirm the number of pedestrians, saying it was a “a lot.”
The Los Angeles County Fire Department said the initial report was five patients.
Authorities did not say whether anyone died in the crash, but there was a white sheet over what appeared to be a body outside a nearby Wells Fargo, Sky5 aerial video showed. Streaks of blood were visible by the sheet.
Two vehicles, including what appeared to possibly be a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department SUV were seen with damage in and near the intersection, Sky5 aerial video over the scene showed. Im said he could not confirm a sheriff’s patrol vehicle was involved.
