A high-speed chase involving the Glendora Police Department culminated in a severe two-vehicle collision in San Dimas, resulting in five individuals being hospitalized, as reported by KTLA. The incident took place at the intersection of San Dimas Canyon Road and Foothill Boulevard after 7 p.m. The Los Angeles County Fire Department has confirmed the time and location of the crash, with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's San Dimas Station officers also responding to the scene.
Immediate aftermath footage from the Citizen app revealed significant damage to the vehicles, one overturned in the grass, the other in the roadway. Firefighters appeared to be extracting individuals from the wrecked cars, "though that information has not been confirmed," KTLA added. Two of the transported individuals were listed as "immediate" due to their injuries, while the other three were "delayed" transports.
ABC7 noted that two people suffered major or critical injuries and three others sustained minor or non-life-threatening injuries. The collision caused one of the vehicle's engine blocks to be ejected some distance away from the wreckage. The spokesperson from the Glendora Police Department disclosed that "three people were taken into custody after the crash," though identities and possible charges have not yet been released.
Details surrounding the chase and the events leading up to the violent collision are still under investigation. Road closures and diversions were in effect at the intersection as the investigation and cleanup progressed.
