Chain Reaction Collision Occurs in West L.A.

A chain-reaction crash that shut down a busy intersection in West Los Angeles left one motorist critically injured and a pedestrian dead.

A car traveling southbound on Federal collided with another auto going eastbound on Santa Monica, which caused the southbound car to spin out of control, striking a pedestrian. The car then continued on its crash course and hit another car at a gas station that was being refueled.

Seven emergency vehicles were called out to the scene to attend to the injured and close down the intersection. Traffic on surrounding streets was tied up until well in to the late afternoon.

The driver of that vehicle was taken to a local area hospital to be treated for serious injuries. Luckily the driver of the other vehicle sustained very minor injuries.

At this time police do not have a cause of the accident nor had they made any arrests in relation to the accident.
