A Thursday morning in Sunland turned chaotic when a car crashed into a home around 9:08 a.m., drawing firefighters and heavy-rescue units to the neighborhood. Crews reported the vehicle went into the house's living room, prompting urban search-and-rescue teams to be dispatched. The city's building department and LAPD also responded to evaluate structural damage and handle a related police incident.
According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, the incident was logged as INC#0504 at 10147 N Langmuir Ave and was initially classified as a vehicle-into-structure with unknown injuries. LAFD said USAR and Heavy Rescue resources were sent, and the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety was attached for a structural assessment while LAPD handled an associated incident (INC#1391). Fire Station 74 and Valley Bureau companies were assigned to the call.
Scene Declared Static
In a later update, the Los Angeles Fire Department wrote that "LAFD resources have declared this scene static, with no further hazard and no injuries reported." The department added that the American Red Cross was notified to help secure shelter for any displaced occupants. Officials said no further updates were expected.
Inspectors, Shelters And Next Steps
The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety typically conducts on-site structural inspections after impacts to determine whether a home is safe to occupy, review permits and issue orders, per the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. The American Red Cross Los Angeles Region provides emergency shelter, food and basic services for households displaced by fires or structural evacuations, according to the American Red Cross. Residents seeking official updates or shelter locations were advised to check LAFD and Red Cross resources.
Officials have not released further details about injuries or the driver. We will update this story if agencies provide more information.
