Police investigate the scene of a car crash that killed three people and critically injured several others in North Hollywood, California, on Nov 10.

LOS ANGELES – A vehicle ploughed into a group of pedestrians in the North Hollywood district of Los Angeles on the evening of Nov 10, killing at least three people and leaving three others critically injured, the authorities said.

There were no official details immediately available on the circumstances of the incident, which occurred shortly before 6pm Pacific time (10am Singapore time on Nov 11).

A police spokesperson said investigators had yet to determine whether the crash was accidental or deliberate.

Three people struck by the vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene, and two other pedestrians, along with the driver of the vehicle, were taken to area hospitals in critical condition, according to the Los Angeles police and fire departments.

Local television station KCAL-TV, a CBS News affiliate, reported that a 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 from KCAL showed a white-coloured, partially crumpled small SUV that appeared to have run up onto the sidewalk under a blue canopy and into the side of a mass-transit shelter structure. REUTERS
