A flurry of 9-1-1 calls at 6:01 PM on August 3, 2013 brought an augmented response of Los Angeles Fire Department crews to Ocean Front Walk near Dudley Avenue, where they found County of Los Angeles Fire Department Lifeguard Paramedics caring for the first of twelve injured persons along a quarter-mile corridor at the globally popular tourist destination.
With well practiced precision, Los Angeles Firefighters and Lifeguards performed a swift and effective triage of a dozen adults, including one person in grave condition, another with critical injuries, a pair in serious condition and eight with minor injuries. Two of the minor injuries declined ambulance transportation.
A fleet of nine LAFD Paramedic Ambulances rushed the ten patients to a trio of regional hospitals, including Marina Del Rey Hospital, Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The Los Angeles Police Department later announced that the gravely injured woman succumbed to her injuries at a hospital.A positive identification of the deceased woman, as well as the precise cause, time and manner of her death will be determined the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner.
Though other pedestrians on the crowded boardwalk may have been injured by the vehicle - or in an attempt to avoid it, neither the motorist or additional injured persons were discovered at the scene by Fire Department responders.
The incident remains the focus of an active Los Angeles Police Department investigation.
