CRENSHAW CORRIDOR - On a quiet Sunday afternoon, residents were abruptly startled by sounds of three vehicles colliding at King Blvd, just East of Crenshaw Blvd. Los Angeles Firefighters rapidly treated and transported eight patients, five of which suffered serious injuries.
Summoned by numerous 9-1-1 calls, at 4:19 PM on, May 6, 2012, the Los Angeles Fire Department swiftly dispatched 54 personnel, under the command of Battalion Chief Alicia Welch, to safely manage the scene on the 3500 block of Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, where two sedans and one SUV crashed. Fortunately no victims were trapped or required extrication with hydraulic prying tools.
The injured patients, ranging from 16 years-old to 57 years-old, were taken to strategic regional hospitals in a fleet of LAFD ambulances. The incident, including the cause and the surrounding circumstances, remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.
