3 dead after vehicle plows into pedestrians in Los Angeles

On Tuesday evening, a vehicle struck a group of pedestrians in the North Hollywood district of Los Angeles, resulting in three fatalities and three critically injured individuals, according to local authorities. The incident unfolded shortly before 6 p.m. with no immediate information provided about the incident's cause, which could be either accidental or deliberate, as investigators were still in the process of determining the facts.

Three victims succumbed to their injuries at the scene, while two others, along with the driver of the vehicle, were rushed to nearby hospitals in critical condition, reported the Los Angeles police and fire departments. KCAL-TV, a CBS News affiliate, noted that the collision occurred near a food stand situated close to a bus stop on Lankershim Boulevard, a major thoroughfare traversing the bustling NoHo commercial and arts district in the city's San Fernando Valley.

Aerial footage captured by KCAL-TV depicted a white-colored, partially damaged small SUV that had apparently navigated onto the sidewalk beneath a blue canopy, crashing into the side of a mass-transit shelter structure.
